doggles and boo
News of another of Wallace's relatives: Boo (more formerly known as Ch Cezanne's Red White 'N Boo NA) had recently suffered an infection in one of his eyes so serious that surgery was required. His owner's posts to Corgi-L, the corgi listserv, noted that the infection itself destroyed most of the eye and was probably initiated by a scratch or other seemingly minor damage. Boo now has a glass eye* where the infected one had been, and several weeks later is already back to his agility drills. He looks great! And the "doggles"--dog goggles--that he often wears for protection are very stylish: He's right in step with the latest Ralph Lauren/aviator-themed ad campaign!
The photos of Boo in action and sporting his doggles are here. His owner went through a lot to help Boo recover, and it's a wonderful reward to see him looking so bright.
* Actually, I'm not sure if it's glass or some other material, but you know what I mean.
