A planned little vacation to Puerto Rico allowed me a breather while my husband, Steve took care of all of the children. I returned home to lots of tail wagging from all of the kids. Allie learned some manners while I was gone. She is no longer counter surfing, which is a plus! She has moved on to her collecting and chewing of things phase. Hopefully this  will not last long. Before I left I had made the appointment at the eye vet. It was yesterday......

Allie has very dry eyes. As a matter of fact, her eyes are making little to no tears at all. The eye specialist has changed her medications to something a little stronger. It is likely she will always require this medicine however the cost is not out of the question - under $50.00 a month. With this medicine she is like night and day. Today we have seen her eyes open  almost the entire day as opposed to the squinting she has been doing since we met her. There is no damage to her corona's or retina. The vet felt this is totally controllable.

All and all this is wonderful news!
