Lilacs can be dangerous to your health

On late Saturday afternoon, we had some excitement.

We're boring people... Lilacs jazz up our day!

Someone was here to buy Bear Bear and another was coming in ten minutes to see the last one available to sell. That one, (aka Bruno) was playing under the lilac bush while the prospective puppy owner was cuddling with the other.

All of the sudden, Bruno yelped out and acted like he was in great pain! Tiffany and I held him and found that a lilac branch must have smacked him in the eye because Tiffany pulled a twig out of his eye an inch long. Yikes!

The guy left after paying half for the female pup. He'll be back on Friday to pick her up with his wife. And just then the other buyer drove up to see her little Bruno, who was still acting like he was dying... She seemed concerned... I told her we would get him to the vet and find out what's wrong, the entire time thinking that now we've got a blind pup on our hands. We were to keep her updated on his condition.

I called our vets office right away and it was of course his day off so he had to call me back and did in just a few minutes. He said, Come in and let's take a look!

Meri and I drove Bruno over and the vet plucked another smaller twig out of the puppies third eyelid. Did you know they have 3? He put a couple drops is the pups eyes and gave him the all clear!

And the best part was... He didn't charge us! Cool!

I called the lady that had just left and she came back to purchase him. WHEW!

Here is Meri with the one that left on Sunday to go to a friends. I think Tiffany will take it the hardest on Friday because Bear Bear was her favorite...
So now we're down to one pup left until Friday and Meri is attempting to talk us into purchasing Bear Bear back from the buyer. Um nope!

I'm ALMOST out of the puppy poopy business!!!

At least until next spring.
