The "Blue Goose"
| I DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE I don't need eyes to tell you the seasons.... Winter.... I can feel the snowflakes upon my nose. Spring..... I can smell the sweet flowers as they bloom. Summer..... I can hear the birds sing their joyous songs. Fall..... I can feel the leaves as the fall upon my back. I don't need eyes to find my food dish.... I use my nose. I don't need eyes to know I am going for a walk.... I can hear my leash jingle. I don't need eyes to know I'm now loved... I can feel it in my heart. I don't need eyes to see danger... I can sense it. I don't need eyes to be perfect.... there are those with eyes who are not. I don't need eyes to be happy.... happiness comes from within .......Mary |
My name is Blue Goose and one year ago a meter reader saw the need to kick his truck door open on my head.
In an instant the world of color I knew went to total darkness. This man not only robbed me of my vision, he
caused me to loose the only home I had known since I was a puppy.
My owners could not care for me because I kept falling and getting hurt, so I was sent off to animal control. Can
you put yourself in my shoes and imagine what it would be like for you to suddenly loose your vision, your home
and be dumped in a place you knew nothing about. What was my future!! Would I now be another victim of man
and spend the remaining days of my life in a place that I could feel the fear and smell death.
As days passed, I began to loose my appetite and started showing signs of severe stress. The lady at the shelter
put out a plea to help me and thank goodness I was rescued. I was now very thin and the pain in my eyes was
terrible. I was taken to the veterinarians and he said that I had been hit so hard it had detached my retinas and
ruptured my left eye. My right eye was swollen and badly infected. I had surgery in December to remove both of
my eyes and as you can see I am still one handsome fellow. I hold no hard feelings of the person that took my
vision because I am a dog and forgiveness is what I do best. Although my life is now spent in darkness, I have
the memories of a world of color. Today I am so happy and although I will never see the face of my Guardian
Angels or the smiles I bring to their faces, I can feel the love. We none come with guarantees of perfection and
certainly do not have to be perfect to feel love or give love. My expressions are priceless and I hope to use them
to help raise money for other homeless and abused animals.
Please stop the violence against animals. Report abuse because we do have feelings!
