Re: Soaphie
Thanks all!!!
I do have to admit - I'm a bit frustrated. Probably more so with hubby. He won't let her be home alone until it all heals up - both eyes - he is worried she will figure out a way to rub them if we are not watching. So it's been since June 17th-ish since we have left the house at the same time - even if it's not together. I insist this isn't normal and "most" people don't have the luxury of working from home and would by unemployed by now if they stayed home with their dog for nearly a month.
Vet says it's ok to leave her alone. He thinks "what if" all the time.
Ok - done venting - I know that the moment we do both leave, something will happen to her eye and then it will be my fault as I pushed for us both to not be there.

Re: Soaphie
You're a good mom, Tami. Soaphie knows it, as well as anyone who knows your situation.
It's tough being a human, sometimes.Otis Farrell dx'd 12/10, best friend to his dad, Bill, for over 14 years. Left this world while in his dad’s loving arms 10/04/13. Sonny Farrell dx'd 1/14, adopted 5/15/14. Left this world while in his dad's loving arms 9/06/16. Run pain free, you Pug guys, til we're together again.

Maybe he's just over protective because it's so soon after losing Sydney and now something has happened to Soaphie?
You guys are great parents! You'll both know when it's ok to leave her alone. Maybe your husband just needs more time to come to that conclusion than you do.

Re: Soaphie
Having a tough time determining if left eye is improving or not (or getting worse again?). Can't tell a difference in right eye. We go back on the 23rd unless I determine things are declining.
She is eating - so that's good. And she loves for me to snuggle on her (so that is good for me
)

Re: Soaphie
I am glad she is eating - I think that is one aspect of our dogs that is a big indicator of how they are doing. I always feel much better when Maggie is eating and the appetite is there. And I am glad you are getting your snuggles - those are the best.Maggie - 15 1/2 y/o JRT diagnosed 9/2007, Angel status on 6/20/16. Her mantra was never give up but her body couldn't keep up with her spirit. Someday, baby.......Comment

Re: Soaphie
Eating is good.... Like Amy, I agree that is such a great barometer to tell how they are feeling.
