A couple of months ago my dog went blind

It was irreversible and hurting him, so they took his eye out

At first it was swollen and painful

After a few days, he decided to embrace his new pirate self

Now, 4 weeks after the surgery, he looks like he never had an eye!

Milks it for all its worth (lots and lots of bacon)

Aw poor thing... why do they have to remote it though..?

It was irreversible and causing him a lot of pain (because of the pressure in his eye). Much kinder to take it out.

I feel bad when this happens because you can't explain it to them :(

Maybe kindness and gentle love is a type of explanation :D

But the beauty of simple minded animals is that they adapt exceptionally well to stuff like this...

OP, if you don't get that dog a goddamned eye patch there is nothing I can do but exhale breath curtly out of my nose with a closed mouth.
