Well on the mend and hiking trails!

Finally decided to give hiking with Sister a try. A dear friend has encouraged me to at least bring Sister out to the forest and just see what happens. We won't know if it would be a good thing or a bad thing until we try.

The hike this morning was such a success! Sis stayed close by, didn't really show any interest in wandering off by herself. She actually stayed on the trail for the most part.


Later this afternoon, we are going to meet at the trail head again but this time Mrs. Waters is going to bring her little man, Frodo. Frodo is a Pomeranian and the sweetest fellow! He is a bit afraid of Sister, but I think on neutral ground, things will go well.

Sister had her left eye removed

Eye removal for dogs is called Enucleation.

Somehow in early August, Sis injured her left eye. It seemed to be healing well, then quickly took a turn for the worse. It became a deep red, blurry and swelled up. There was no saving this eye.

She went in for surgery on Aug. 21 to have that eye removed. She absolutely despised the "party hat" cone she had to wear for two weeks. Refused to go potty with it on.

This morning, we had the sutures removed and all is going well. It still looks pretty nasty but not as bad as that huge bulging red eye.


Sis is feeling a lot better already. Beginning to play again and is just itching to go herd her chickens.
