Eddie was found as a stray in Edison. When found, he was a bag of bones, the poor thing. He arrived blind in one eye and could only see shadows with the other. His teeth were very bad due to malnutrition and the vet was able to was able to tell his foster mom Judy that Eddie is a senior citizen.
Judy takes him to the dog park every day, and says runs walks around like a drunken sailor! (For those of you familiar with drunken sailors!) He tends to wonder aimlessly and has no brakes, probably because he's blind. You have to keep a constant eye on him because he trips and falls over things in his way and if the car window is open all the way he'll jump out.
Recently the vet determined that Eddie was in great pain because of the condition of his eyes. The vet recommended that they be removed. He had surgery in August. Judy reports, "Eddie is home. He handled the surgery well and he's actually back to his ole self. It took him a little longer than most to come out of the anesthesia and he had to stay overnight but he's doing well. His pain level is much lower now that the eyes are gone. He woke up this am with no swelling! I'm amazed at well he's healing. He will be much easier to manage without those eyes. He'll be a happier doggie! Thank you all for your prayers! He's still quite a dapper fellow. My husband's new nickname for him is Eddie Wonder!"
Judy continues, "Eddie is such a trip and I'm sure at some point in his life he was loved, (just a long time ago), but here he's making up for lost time. He's really attached to my daughter Nicole. He follows her everywhere and they've become great buds. "
