Hugo Stops to Smell the Flowers

When Hugo and I were waiting for the ferry at Horseshoe Bay we had time for a walk to the park and waterfront.

We watched kids throw stones in the water, met a few other doggies and stopped to smell the daffodils.

This picture really shows the difference in Hugo’s eye color. His left eye is 1/3 blue, inherited from his doggy daddy who’s eye is 1/2 blue. People always ask if he’s blind or if he has a cataract. That’s not the case at all – it’s just Mother Nature working her magic.

I have a friend who is a Doctor of Ophthalmology and when we were visiting one day, I asked him to look at Hugo to hear his opinion. He did a few little tests, studied the eye and assured me Hugo was not having any trouble seeing out of that eye. Now that’s a friend indeed!

Hugo does have a a problem with floppy ears – they should stand straight up and sometimes the left ear does. He looks very odd with one up and one down, but it suits his quirky little personality.
