Turbo's long car ride to the Eye Doctor!

Well we made it! Our road trip to Turbo's Eye specialist! It was a nice ride. It took a little over 2 hours to get there and was so simple to find. I didn't realize just how close to New York we were...I got excited thinking Punchy was nearby..but I punched in Punchy's address into my Navigator and come to find out she was still 6 hours away...( Boo Hoo )

Once we arrived we let Turbo out to stretch his legs and get a drink of water, we were a little early so this gave me plenty of time to wipe up some of the Pug fur. ( it literally looked like Turbo exploded in my car!) I should of never bought a car with Black interior with fawn Pugs!
we had a bit of a wait so we let OM gallivant around the building and sniff around a bit. I think he was a bit nervous. he has this was of breathing when he is anxious...he did this the whole time walking.
it was on the warm side today and once we got inside to do the paper work O.M. Turbo kept scooting on his belly on the cool floor to keep cool. once the spot warmed up he would scoot a inch or two to a cooler spot.Still waiting............Okay...I think I kept this from you long enough.........

Dr. Koch ( who we absoutly Love Love Love! ) really took the time with O.M. and thinks Turbo's eye is in rough shape and in fact has nearly 100% blindness but sees no reason to remove his eye. Just yet.He gave us a few ideas but with Turbo's age it is pretty much out of the question.... like stitching the lids on each side to help cradle his eye but he feels that wont work. He sees no sign of infection or anything that can cause more harm. Turbo has a lot going on with his eye and if we continue to do what we are told and to medicate it 3 times a day Turbo may be able to keep his eye with his for the rest of his life. He changed Turbo's eye medication and wanted to see him back again in 6 months for a follow up. If all is good we will continue what we are doing if not we will have to take the next step.... so lets Keep our fingers and Paws crossed for Turbo's eye! His only eye at that!
But Dr. Koch really suggested we purchase OM something to protect his eye....... He wanted Turbo to wear Doggles for when Turbo is out walking in a area with sticks and branches ( like the lake) or just rough housing with Willow and Belle ( he still has a bit of Puppy in him) He wont have to weat them all the time just when he needs a little TLC....... so when we got back at home I went and ordered OM these super Cool manly Doggles! Turbo is going to look Studly in these Skull X'bone Doggles. I ordered these from the same company who wanted to know where I got the Pupia Harnesses...... click here for their website

They should be in with in the next 3 days......can't wait to see Turbo in them!

He was just zonked on the way home. He slept on his Daddy's lap the whole way home. The Navigator is my new best friend....Hello Blogy Friends! all I have to do now is punch in your addy's and I am there! So Awesome!
We stopped at Wendy's for a quick lunch...Turbo and I sat in the car whole Brad ran in for us..

Turbo was so hoping Dad would remember he was a good boy and was hungry too.......

Look behind the clouds! Turbo in the car wanting to get out and walk while we wait for Brad, Brad did infact remember Turbo and bought him 4 chicken nuggets all for himself....He ate them all at once I think.

See this eye? we are going to save it!



My MIL picked the girls up today from school for us and brought them to the Orthodontist and then out for dinner so later on when Brad and I got home we cleaned the pool, went grocery shopping, and I made us Veal Oscar and sauteed cabbage and Purple potatoes for dinner...... slurp! Yum!
