A heartening story
« on: May 05, 2021, 08:47:20 PM »
Mai, a collie domiciled in Douane, went into a thicket - reason unknown - and managed to impale her eye socket with a stick left protruding a couple of inches. Makes me cringe just to think about it. Thankfully, the Royal  Veterinary school at the University of Edinburgh manged not only to safely remove the object, but also managed to leave Mai's sight unimpaired

Yes I read that article, really good news for the collie dog. Wonder if the owner will have to remortgage their house to pay the vets bill.

Hopefully they can afford it - no mention of cost in the article. As someone who only has one properly functioning eye, I really felt for Mia!

Just thought - does that make me a co ck-eyed optimist? Or - perhaps - a co ck-eyed pessimist?
