Well, I gotta tell ya that MooShoo had never been around dogs before. When I moved out here almost 3 years ago, I had to stay at my SIL's apartment over a funeral home for over a month with my 6 cats in a tiny bedroom. They survived. But I brought MooShoo out to meet sweet Ashley (RB, 2005) and they both got along very well. I think that Ashley didn't quite know what to make of Moo so she just kinda sniffed him and let him be.

As far as Rex's cataracts are concerned, I'm sure they have surgery for them just like they do in humans. Maybe you'd want to check with your vet to see if he can do it. I know from experience that once cataracts are removed, the sight is more clear. I don't think it renders them totally blind, but it kind of impairs them. Hell, look at MooShoo. He had a herpes virus in his eyes that caused scar tissue to form over both his retinas. He's blind in his right eye and has limited vision in his left. Doesn't stop him from going all crazy on me around my apartment.

I also emailed the shelter to find out the status of Rex. I'll keep you posted when I find out something.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Memorial Day bash at Findlay Park. The Mooman and I will be there!!
