Dead eye, a sad story
by Paul

Comment:
OMG .. that must have been .. i'm at a loss for words .. traumatic, terrible, gut wrenching ..
i hope mrs ragamuffin has recovered from such a horrific time ..

my brother and his wife had a cairn terrier who i looked after quite a lot .. he had a glaucoma .. i think it was .. in one eye which they were treating him for .. but eventually he lost his sight in that eye .. he carried on really well for several years with one eye ..
unfortunately on a walk in the bush he walked into a stick and punctured his other eye and went totally blind immediately .. he lived for another two years blind .. going for walks etc .. but taking out the other eye in such a freak accident was so sad .. :(

this was one of my favs in the challenge ..
the fly by marbo of course as i'm quite partial to insects .. lol .
but this has so much going for it ..
i have looked into those eyes for a while and am touched ..
i would love to know the story .. but only if it has a happy ending ..
there's too much pain in the world .. and hearing of an animal that finds a home gladdens my heart .. :)
