thanks for the message about Gizmo! What is the Anipryl for? Confusion? I think Gizmo gets stuck in corners because he can't see. His story is long but shortly after we got him - the kids accidentally let him out and we didn't know it for a while and couldn't find him - he spent the whole night out and some neighbors found him the next day - and he was tore up - by some wild animal - the vet thinks and in the process lost at least some vision in one eye. It was cloudy - then about a year ago - a man living in the neighborhood walked by when I was outside with Gizmo and Gizzy ran after him barking (he is sooo territorial)and the guy turned around and hit Gizmo in the head with a metal walking stick and it also got his bad eye and he bled! I think he lost more sight and became very sad since. It was so terriable we tried to track the guy down - my husband was so mad - he was going to beat the guy to a pulp to hit such a small dog who was only barking at him! It was horriable. Since those 2 episodes the sweet, fun guy we got is so different. I don't blame him. I wish I could have protected him more and believe me we have become much more protective of him. But the damage is done. The home we got him from didn't do well by him either. It just seems life has taken a toll on him. God love him. We love him so much. It doesn't seem fair. Thanks for the encouragement! |
