goodbyes are always hard...

Last night Molly went to her new guardian family. Molly was born and raised with my mom, often coming and staying at my house as well. She is 4 1/2 years old. We know that you can't keep everything, but it is always hard. I'm sure that she will be just fine, though I still worry! She will have a ton of attention in her new home though.

We have our annual eye clinic coming up on October 23rd. Emails have already gone out to guardian families. Every year we have our dogs checked for any eye problems. It is the same as one of us going and seeing an eye doctor. Just a check up. Last year was a great success, though extremely rushed! Everyone passed with flying colors, and we expect the same this year. The eye clinic will be held at my mom's house at 9am saturday morning. I will be bringing all of my doggies and staying overnight on friday so that we can be all ready. My mom makes a darkroom in her hallway by hanging sheets in the doorway. After drops are administered to the dogs, they each see the vet and have their eyes examined for any abnormalities. Eyes are ever changing, so testing once a year really helps us to see if there is anything worrisome cropping up in our lines. So far, we are all clear!
