sweet brown eyes

I love her eyes. Even with the cataract (left eye) and the destroyed retina (right eye) her little peeps are still just the sweetest thing ever. It’s not always easy to remember that she’s 100% blind now, because sometimes she’ll actually “look” right at you with those lovely little peeps, and then you fall in love all over again. :)

I love when she gives me this look – like she’d never do anything wrong in the world. Like lick the entire house and its owners half to death. Like bark at 2 am because the dust motes were not pleasing to her.

Not that I should complain – really, all things considered she’s probably the easiest dog to have around. She loves people, loves to play, loves to cuddle, loves hanging out in the kitchen (a.k.a. hoping for food). She’s not aggressive but not passive and wants nothing more than to be loved.

Which is, of course, why we do. :)

This blog will be moving to its own domain mid-August: bookmark Merrylog.com now to be sure you find it!

Merry was stretched out, dead to the world on her Daddy’s legs the other night and I had to run and get the camera to capture it. As I suspected, she peeped open her eyes at me once she heard the camera (I had hoped to capture her in full-on adorable sleep mode) but it still shows how unbelievably cute she looked. Seriously.

Folks, I still own Merrylog.com and plan to keep this blog going in that location, but it may take me a week or two to get it set up in the new location. Do me a favor, and add www.merrylog.com to your bookmarks now so you can find the new version of this blog once I get things all settled. Or email angie@merrylog.com to be notified when the new blog is ready to go in August!

Here are a couple more from Merry’s birthday play date in the park. As you can see, a great time was had by all!
