Having a little trouble with your dog again?

[interveningly]

He is very persistant sometimes.

[grab_my_bells]

Maybe he's still a puppy, or a puppy at heart.

Enjoying him, at least?

[interveningly]

He is [pause to think of a polite word] frustrating.

[grab_my_bells]

And you tried playing with him?

[interveningly]

Yes. He does not appear to grasp basic concepts well.

[grab_my_bells]

Well, what did you try?

[interveningly]

Someone suggested 'fetch'. The dog does not appear capable of following the trajectory after I throw the ball, however.

[grab_my_bells]

Huh. Did you have his eyes checked?

Though some dogs just don't do fetch. You could always just pet him.

[interveningly]

[pause. He hasn't actually considered that his dog might just be vision impaired, not stupid. Too bad his first guess was right]

How does one check a dog's vision?

[grab_my_bells]

I'd assume the same way one checks a human's. Check and see how their eyes respond to light, to movement, if they focus or not close up and at a distance. You might try inquiring at the clinic or the animal shelter for ideas.

[interveningly]

I will look into it.

[getsome_sleep]

Perhaps he has a message to convey to us.

[interveningly]

Perhaps. Thus far it appears to be 'I enjoy licking things.'

[getsome_sleep]

A crucially important message, if you are a dog.

[interveningly]

Not one of use to the rest of us, however.
