I am sorry to hear of the ongoing eye problems, dogs are so stoic aren't they? My old Lab had a very bad tooth abcess which I did not realise until her face swelled. She must have been in so much pain and never gave any indication at all.
I do hope the eye heals quickly.
We call it "the cone of shame" too. I believe the movie, "Up" made that phrase even more common. Even so, didn't want you all to think I was completely bonkers....

Re: This Guy Brought Me Here
Twink, thank you so much for you well wishes and kindness. He IS exceptional! I am so pleased to find so many good-hearted people when it comes to animals here.Cass, too have a border collie, but lost my sweet beagle two years ago at the age of seventeen. The border collie was rescued from the flooding after Hurricane Katrina, and my beagle came from a horrible neglect situation:

Re: This Guy Brought Me Here
What a lovely family, Cass. Thank you for sharing. We had a rat terrier too...how many similar dog breeds we have had!I know you miss your pups. It's a loss one never quite gets over. The only solace is that, when the time is right, losing one makes room for another.

Re: This Guy Brought Me Here
The cone of shame is gone, the eye sutures have been removed, and this happy-go-lucky guy is feeling his oats. I have been beaten half to death by that tail that is always wagging and coated with slobbery kisses....pray for me
. He did eat, whole, my son's wallet though...cash and all...

Re: This Guy Brought Me Here
You can see he is putting some weight on, but maybe your sons wallet isn't the most nutritional snack!
I can't help thinking that, if it wasn't for you,he wouldn't still be alive..... Maybe that constant wagging tail is his way of saying "thank you"!

Re: This Guy Brought Me Here
Oh, Twink, so sweet of you. I like to think that other people would have swooped in at the last minute and saved him. Still, I am the fortunate one to have his good-natured soul in my life.Yes, we chatted with him that eating twenty dollar bills are not on the list of superfoods either.
