Bob is Losing His Sight

Our poor dog Bob is losing his sight:( He's not blind or anything, but his vision of things close up seems to be pretty bad.

Things we've noticed so far:

He bumps into things around the house. Yesterday he walked right in a door frame with so much as slowing down.

When we play chase now, he will run right by me. Yesterday we were chasing around the house. I ran into the living room. He turned into the kitchen and stared at empty space thinking he had me cornered

If I throw him a treat, he doesn't even see it go by his head! This was how I first noticed it actually. He can smell treats, but he doesn't seem to be able to see them at all!

Poor guy...He's only 7! This is bull shit!

We are taking him to a dog specialist for his eyes next week. Hopefully they will be able to do something to help him out.

Bob injuried

Poor Bob is injured. The vet is not 100% sure what is wrong with him, but he seems to have hurt something around his left shoulder. He can't seem to jump or climb stairs. Even laying down seems to really hurt the poor guy. Yesterday I watched him try to lay down three times before he finally found a way to do it without hurting himself:(

President's Dog Best Actor in White House

You know what's really scary about this video? I'm not 100% sure that Bush knows that the dog he is talking to ISN'T GOING TO RESPOND.

Side note: Notice that they never say the cat's name? There is a good reason for this. The cat's name is "India", which caused quite the little party in India a few years ago. Apparently some folks there don't like the President naming something that poops in the box, spits up fur, and could easily be punted 50 yards after their country.

Happy Birthday to Bob!!!

	Today our fluffy dog Bob is five! Yeah Bob! He grows more and more white hairs as he ages and now he has a little white soul patch under his chin! It is awesome!!
