<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Freckles is doing fine, his eyes
are the same as they were after the surgery last May they are in good shape, we
cannot afford the second surgery the eye specialist recommended for him,
where they slice off slivers of the cornea and take a vein from the sclera and
hook it to the cornea to drain the water from his eye, that surgery was going to
be over $3000.00. We are giving him his drops and keeping his eyes from getting
cloudier, but he is not in any pain anymore, His ulcers are healed and he opens
his eyes and looks lovingly at us with his grey blue eyes. He is high
maintenance though with getting the eye drops continually, and he is also almost
twelve years old and with his limited eyesight he knows his way around here
since he has been here a while. We have a lot of older Bassets that will
live out their lives in rescue because they have problems and are basically
unadoptable. </FONT><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS"><FONT color=#0000ff
