Poor Sandy!

Sad news about our family dog Sandy! While we were gone Sandy had an accident. Our neighbor was babysitting Sandy like normal. Our dogs are best friends and they play together everyday. Our fences join together by a gate and they love to play together all the time.

One day they came in from playing and she noticed Sandy's eye was bleeding and looked sore. So she took her to the Vet. She had some how pierced her eye all the way to the cornea. The doctor could not save it. They had to remove her eye and sew it closed. They kept her overnight to keep watch.

My poor neighbor! She felt so bad for Sandy and I. I did not leave her a number this time on how to get hold of us. Bad mommy! Luckily we got home the next day. She was very upset and and a wreck. Her daughters happened to be in town and they stayed with her to support her and Sandy. That was so nice of them. We had a quick cry and then I knew we had to be strong in front of Sandy so she did not get too depressed.

Sandy has been doing really well. She is eating and taking her medicine great. She did not drink for a couple of days. But she is drinking now. We are to keep her calm and mellow. She is loving all the attention and extra loves. We all feel so bad for her. I wish she could tell us how she feels. Andrew was very upset and Vincent tried to tough. But it really effected everyone.

We have looked around the yards and can not figure out how she poked her eye. It will be a mystery forever I think. We are glad she will recover. She gets her stitches out in 2 weeks. And she has to wear her cone till then . She keeps trying to scratch her face. Must be itchy.
