Ruby's other eye has gone

[Joules]

Am counting to 10 very slowly - just had a stupid conversation with my mum that was something like I should pts Ruby if she loses her remaining eye as its for the best - then did the oh I can hear it in your voice you're getting emotional - was 'spitting feathers' which is difficult when you still have a touch of laryngitis

Mothers can be incredibly tactless can't they? Even though my Mum is a dog lover, she still comes out with stupid remarks sometimes and I just have to bite my tongue to avoid an argument

Really hope Ruby doesn't lose her other eye but if she does, she will cope and will still be the happy girl she is now - dogs have an amazing capacity to adjust to whatever life throws at them and just live in the moment with "what is" 

Ditto.  Mothers eh?

I totally agree.
Our old cocker, Katie #1, lost her sight but she wasn't bothered.  We made sure furniture wasn't moved and things like that, but it didn't affect her quality of life, she just adapted.  

People go blind, and they don't get pts, so why should a doglet  

My advice - ignore your mum and do what's right for your Ruby

Mothers who'd have them!!!

It was all the bitterness that came with it and how cruel it would be - it really upset me on top of everything else

how is Ruby doing now?

She's doing well - gives me a fright every now and then just to keep me on my toes.

You can borrow my mum  if you like  .
She frets just as much as I do about our dogs, and the last thing that would ever come out of her mouth would be the pts words - she'd rather chop off her own arm.

Bit like your mum then    Glad Ruby is doing alright at the moment.

Really glad Ruby is a bit better.

Either people get what you feel for your animals -or they don't. It's their lack not yours.
