Lampshade Lucy

My brother Dave brought Lucy to Seattle yesterday to have her "indolent corneal ulcer" treated, and they had some dinner with us before heading home. If I understood, Lucy just has a surface eye sore that doesn't want to heal, so the vet removes the top layer to help it along.

I think she looks somewhat saint-like in her transparent halo, which (dang-it) she must wear for another two weeks. But animals don't feel sorry for themselves, one of the things we love best about them. And for a Golden, being with people is as good as it gets, even if you had eye surgery that afternoon.

The lampshade doesn't bother her, in fact I think she was using it as a radar cone to focus in on that bowl of ice cream last night!
