Ann, my son is 22, and his dog, whom we all love so much, was hit by a car tonight. My son was visiting his father in another state when it happened. His dog, a terrier-beagle mix named Forty, has lost his left eye. We are devastated. I am so glad I came across your blog when I googled “dog adapt loss of eye,” and I’m thrilled to hear your little Abby has indeed adapted. I worry more about my son, who witnessed the whole thing. Thank you for your eloquent post, and I hope Abby continues to do well.

Sorry for Zac, too, Christine. But just so you know… Abby is totally back to her old spunky self! And really more adorable and appealing than ever…

We just had a very similar experience with our little one year old Shorkie…his name is Zac. This happened on Sunday and we were able to bring him home Monday morning. He has to wear a cone for 10 days but seems to be adjusting . Sorry to hear about your Abby….sorry too for our little Zac but know that they will both live good lives with all the love they receive from us.

Hi Julie — She's doing great… much better, and she seems to be adapting well.

The boy has been driving for more than a year. This was one time it REALLY came in handy!

Oh Ann, how awful (yet brilliantly written). How is she doing? Does the boy have a learners permit? Ours does not.

Hi Peter and Merrie — She is such a sweetheart… which makes this extra hard. She's doing a lot better this week, thankfully. Stitches out Friday!

How's our pal doing?

Thanks, Amy. Nice to know you are another dog lover. Abby has definitely been hanging tough…. she's so much better this Monday than last. On the road to recovery, and all that. Hug your shelter mutts from me, too.
