Life sure can be good, as long as you make it through the rough spots.
I had a rough go of it for a while recently. One of my eyes got a puncture from playing with Chen Po. The vet gave us meds to put in it several times a day. It looked like it was healed, but then the next day BOTH my eyes were infected with some kind of virus! The vet (a great lady) thinks it was because my one eye was already weak that it just took over. Those infections seemed to go on FOREVER! I couldn't see, mom kept having to wash crud out ofmy eyes so I could even open them, and had to put several dfferent meds in my eyes several times a day. I couldn't see hardely anything and was very scared. The vet said both my eyes would most likely have to be removed (scary), but luckily my eyes are now both infection free. My eyes are now probably scared for life and need daily meds, but I can now see. I can't see as well as I once could, and there is now a large scar where the puncture used to be, but I get to keep my eyes (at least for now). Unfortunalely my eyes are now much more easily damaged and can get infections easier, but I'm ok.
After my eyes healed I got to go with the human kids to a park again. I don't like to slide or play in the equiptment like Justice (my poodle sister) does but I was quite content just being loved on by all the kids at the park and by my family, and to run in the grass while chasing my human kids.


Isn't life great when you are loved?!
