[...] however, I decided to get him gussied up for a trip to the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain, with less than pleasant results. I can’t swear that his corneal ulcer was caused by careless grooming, but the timing of [...]

Thanks; glad to hear that about Dash. It gives me hope. Frankie doesn’t seem to mind the drops — although he’s annoyed that my approaches never involve food — so that’s a relief.

No, no — I had totally forgotten about out deviated septum conversation because, well, your nose doesn’t look like it ever had any work (and that’s a compliment!). I have to admit I was thinking about a friend who I haven’t seen since high school who is coming to Tucson later this week. She had the first nose job of anyone I knew and, it seems, got the classic “Dr. Diamond nose.”

As for Frankie, luckily the vet said the every two hour rule doesn’t apply during the night. Whew!

Dash had the same thing. It healed up pretty quickly with the drops. Hopefully Frankie’s will too!

I suppose I am not supposed to take personally the crack about the deviated septum repair excuse for a nose job? I had mine when the nice doctor explained that I would die without the surgery — either from the non-stop infections or the increasingly rare and lethal antibiotics that would slow the infections down. Cosmetically speaking, I can’t say I thought it was an improvement.
BTW It was only later that I realized that the surgery really does involve someone breaking your nose with something resembling a baseball bat. Had I but known, I would have held an auction for the privilege of swinging the bat!
That said, I hope Frankie gets better before the lack of sleep gets to you!

You’ve got that right, Rod — and thank you for reading my posts so carefully!

But speaking of fancy schmancy, let’s look at Ty’s cosmetic surgery. Is this the canine equivalent of the deviated septum excuse for a nose job?

Let’s see if I can tie some of your previous posts together here!

So because you are a celebrity slut, you just had to gussy up Frankie. Then travel to a fancy schmancy Ritz Carlton to see and be seen. You know darn right well this would not have happened if you just stayed at home.

And, well, thank Dog you haven’t given up cable – otherwise you’d have to drink alone!

If it makes you feel any better, we paid $2500 to have Ty’s eyelids done. (This was a couple of years ago – who knows how much it costs today!) The extra forehead skin was pushing down on his face, causing his eyelids to roll in/under, resulting in his eye lashes scratching his eyes, which can cause … taa daa … corneal ulcers. This is a common in the Shar Pei breed and is an excluded condition on his pet insurance.
