[QUOTE="donna723, post: 679175, member: 1883"] Bostons certainly are awesome Lil! They're the resident clowns of the dog world, the comic relief! With a Boston around, you'll never be bored. With three around it's happy chaos all the time. They're happy, healthy, energetic little goofballs, full of fun. They're tough little guys but their eyes are definitely their weakest part. Their eyes are very prone to injury and disease and an injury that other breeds can heal from can cause a Boston to lose the eye. Ragan, the 13 year old, has cataracts on both eyes. And her eyes are extremely dry and stay red all the time, no matter how many drops we use. She's 95% blind but gets along just fine in the house. She's still the bratty one. Katy is 11 and now has a noticeable cataract on her right eye. Doesn't slow her down a bit. And Trace, my only boy, had his right eye removed about a week before I adopted him over six years ago. He had been severely abused and the eye injury was just one of many injuries. Too awful to even go in to but when I first got him he only weighed 15 pounds. Now he's 27 pounds of solid muscle! He adapted to the loss of the eye very quickly and it doesn't slow him down at all! In fact he's usually moving so fast that people don't even notice he's missing an eye till he stops running. He's my happy, friendly little personality boy and he's adorable. It just looks like he's winking at you. [/QUOTE]
