Our poor Lucky had to have surgery on his eye. In the last couple months a tumor started to grow on his eyelid an was starting to bother him, so we decided it was time to get it removed. We also got his teeth cleaned at the same time, so it was quite an ordeal for him. He is kind of a baby and things like this are very traumatic for him. His surgery went well, but he did have some stress after which caused bleeding, but after an x-ray and ultra sound and some blood tests the doctor said he was probably just stressed and we just had to watch him for a few days. They have him on an antibiotic, so the bleeding has now stopped and he is almost back to normal. He is not loving the cone he has to wear, because he keeps running into everything and he can't eat him bone's with it on. He has to wear it for two weeks, so he will just have to deal with it one more week.
I took this picture the day before he went in for surgery.
Our poor lucky. When they brought him out the girls couldn't help smiling. If you have seen the movie UP then you know all about the cone of shame. McKenzie thinks it's so funny that he has to wear the cone of shame. The first thing she said when we got home was, " I have never seen a dog in real life with the cone of shame on. " I keep trying to explain to her that it's just a cone, but she keeps calling it the cone of shame. Oh McKenzie! 
Our sad puppy

My poor lucky "granddog"-- we get attached to these pets of ours. I hope he recovers soon and can get the cone of shame off. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
That makes me sad. Hope he'll recover quickly.
Poor Lucky! I couldn't help but laugh...but that is really sad he had to go through that! The girls looked darling on Easter! The family picture is cute of you all too!
Laugh at what Mckenzie said anyways...not that he had to go through that!! :)
