I sure have trouble seeing things.  How can that be when I am only 6-7 years old?  Well I have juvenile cataracts and the big problem is that they are causing inflammation inside my eyes (they are leaking proteins.)  Right now I have eye drops that are helping the pain and my sensitivity to bright light but I really should have surgery to remove these lens that “hurt” me.  If I don’t take the eye drops regularly, I could have other problems like glaucoma or retinal detachment and then I would go blind. 

If I could have the surgery, I wouldn’t need the eye drops and I wouldn’t have to worry about other problems from the bad lens.

Some really nice people have raised enough money for me to see the eye doc already – that’s how come I know what is wrong with my sight – and there is a little left over for the surgery.  Hopefully I can raise the rest of the money.

NEWS FLASH!!!

Thanks to Robert and Leslie Nason for my surgery!  Everything went fine and I can really see now.  It is fantastic!  I feel so good and really like to run and play in the yard.  I am ready to be adopted.

One minor problem – I can’t hear much at all, but I don’t let that bother me. I stay in my fenced yard and go by sight. When my foster dad wants me he just motions for me to come in. It takes a little getting used to but is really not a big problem for me.

A fenced yard would be great so I can’t get lost because I can’t hear you if you call me.

I am a super little guy. I have all my shots and will be microchipped. I am ready to find my forever home. I promise I will be good.

UPDATE:  I can see!  I am all ready for adoption!

It’s is really a good thing because now my foster dad wants me to tell you that he has discovered that I am deaf.  It is so great that at least my sight could be repaired.  Even though I am deaf, it was really not noticable at first.  In fact, I was in my foster home for quite a while before they even suspected there might be something wrong with my hearing.  They weren’t even sure at times if I was deaf or not.  So being deaf isn’t all that big of a deal.  I am still a happy boy who loves attention and is easy to have in your home.
