Another stunning morning here in the Las Vegas area:

This morning’s walk was very different because Brindy was not with me. She’s off at the vet having her left eye sown up. Unfortunately, the barrage of pills, drops, and salves only kept the ulceration at bay, it was not getting any better. Next step is to sew her eye closed and see if it heals up in a few weeks. If not, we have an appointment with an eye specialist in mid-February. Worst case scenario is that the eye has to go. That wouldn’t be great, of course, but better than having her continue to be in pain (which seemed to be getting worse yesterday).
