I haven't blogged this week, and that irritates me, because I was doing so well there. But it's been a pretty bad week, so rather than wallow all over the internet, I decided to just not say anything at all. Happiness is great, but sometimes it's darn near impossible..I don't care what anyone says. And since I'm not running through a field a daisies with glee, spreading sunshine wherever I go, I thought it best to just keep quiet.
My life is starting to have more and more componants of a bad country song..and yesterday I added another line to the lyrics.
"my dog's going blind and even he doesn't follow me..." (if only Tim McGraw would sing it to me..then it wouldn't be so bad..lol)
Yes, sweet Charlie Brown had been diagnosed with cateracts. REALLY bad in his right eye, and not so bad, but there in his left. They weren't there on his last visit, and all of a sudden his eyes have white spots that cover the eyes..a bad sign. Basically I was told it's not so bad to have a blind dog. He can still see now, but as they have progressed rapidly, who knows how bad they will end up being. We have to see a dog eye opthamologist in a couple of weeks. Nothing they can do to stop this from happening, so I guess there is no hurry to get in any sooner.
So we get over the pooping in the kennel and now we have to move on to reading braile. lol
How perfect.
Oh and I'm back on the diet wagon. It's a bad sign when nothing in your closet fits at all because you threw away all your fat clothes because you swore you would NEVER need them again anyway..and now you have nothing to wear. So until I drop about 50 lbs I will be wearing the same 2 pairs of denim shorts..which hello..it's getting cold here. lol I might have to buy some leg warmers to go along with my shorts until I can safely breathe in my jeans. lol Yikes. The mess I have become.
On a good note, I scrubbed every square inch of our wood floor on my hands and knees on Monday, and my floor has never been cleaner..but my back has never been more sore. lol It's all about trade offs isn't it?..lol.
Thank goodness it's friday..lots of football and fun I am sure over the weekend. :)
Sorry to hear about Charlie Brown... :(
Happy to hear about your wood floor...I have one in my kitchen that could use the same treatment....wanna come do mine??
Have a good day!

Oh Miley, we are in the same boat rowing with the same paddle. Our dog, Gus, was diagnosed with diabetes in March and recently suspected he was losing his eyesight. We went to the vet a few weeks ago and sure enough, he only had 5% of his eyesight left in his right eye and 0% in his left eye. SO SAD! The vet assured us that even though he's blind, he can still carry on a normal active life! Or if we wanted to spend $1800/eye, we could do lens replacement surgery! Um if I wanted to spend that kind of money, I'd get my own eyes corrected!
Hope your country song turns around for ya!

Poor Charlie Brown.

And poor Mommy--I know what it's like to hear that your baby can't see. : (

Hello Miley!
I found this a while back when I was trying to find your personal website. Anyway, not the issue. Have you found a Dr. yet? As you know Miss Megan (our oldest Cocker) had to have both of her eyes removed. Dr. Barryman @ Harvey Oaks is absolutely fantastic! He specializes in eyes. I would highly recommend that you schedule a visit with him. I realize I am a few weeks after the post but I thought it may help. I feel your pain! He is absolutely adorable.
