Nighthawk,

I have a German Shepherd Dog who I took in quite a few years back as he didn't pass the basic training part at the Leader Dog School for the Blind. ( Separation Anxiety ). But he is old now, too, so I dont know if he would be of any use to me in the future.

I had to knock off for a nap earlier, as well.

Yeah, I keep telling myself to go get my eyes checked, but with my kidney trouble, Im just sick of Doctor appointments. Im finding my big magnifying glass to be of great help.

The reason that I have custody of this Shar pei dog is because my daughter who used to live in my house until she

bought her own in the burbs never came to a conclusion of actually fulfilling her elementary school days dream of

becoming a Veterinarian. Her love for animal pets grew with her though and at one time there were three large dogs

in this crib. I had to hire some people to put up a large 6 foot high fence around my property for the safety of anyone

walking too close to the chain link fence near our yard.

Because my daughter grew up also loving the feel of knowledge, she graduated from Marquette U a few years prior

to moving out of my home, with a very intelligent man who she married, and blessed me with two grandkids.

But let me tell you about the Veterinarian thing that came back to haunt me. She buys nothing but the real deal. So

first she bought this pure blooded Boxer we named Geovanni(Geo for short). When Geo came home he had just been

weened from his Mother and was about 3/4 months old. A beauty of an animail.

Then there was Sam. He was a Golden Retriever. Talk about eye dog and a retriever. My wife would constantly yell

at me in the Summer that Sam had another squirrel by the throat in the yard. Funny how swift Sam (was) when he

was alive. Or maybe, I thought, he had to ability to hypnotize the squirrel before putting the Jaw lock on it, I never

actually see him chasing one.

And check this out. Prior to these dogs, there was Renee. A pure something, I really never figured out what type

of breed she was. Small, a ball of fur and playful like a cat. Could speak too. Everyone here could communicate with

her. Everyone know exactly what Renee wanted at any given time.

Lastly, there is Kiki. He is the Grey African Parrot that drives me up the wall, constantly, everyday. As you probably

know how smart these bird are. They speak more than some people I know. And they mimic any voice or sound

that they hear. I may be in the shower in the morning and hear the phone ringing. I am alone with these guys all

day while my wife spend all week at the burbs babysitting while my granddaughter is at school and my daughter at

work. I say these guys and actually mean Simba, the Shar pei and KiKi the bird.

Geo mysteriously contacted cancer and passed away several years ago. My daughter had an autopsy performed and

found out about the cancer. Sam passed away at old age shortly after Geo and Renee also died of old age some years

even before Geo came home as a puppy. This is the story of a Veterinarian wanna-be that decided that the old man

was better suited to care for the pets. I think that is quite true. I am always here at home with them.

Now kiKi spends his days tormenting me while Simba took over the whole territory out in the back yard. He also has

been house broken and trained. You were warned! I will bore you with my stories. This time the topic is pets.

I refuse to leave until I pass this important information that I have picked up from reading about eye surgeries.

Nag., I am sorry to hear about your kidney problem, I really am. The reason that I say important information is that

you fall under the category that actually disqualifies you for the type of eye surgery that I went through, and that

includes, I believe anyone with diabetic condition. These are reasons that you should with more determination go

see the doctors for a better diagnosis. I am relying on something I read.

I WARNED YOU! now weep.
