We got him!!!
-----------------------------------
Julie my partner in crime at SSMR and I pulled him at 3:30 and he was at the hospital.  He is full of funk!!!!  Lots of bacterial and yeast infections.  He will have eye surgery Sat AM...and sadly will be blind in one eye.  The other we are told should recover.  He has probably had this condition since he was a pup.

Julie brought him to the vet in her big ole F350 because she has a motorized seat in the back that lays flat - the smell durring the 40 minute drive was enough to make anyone barf.  

As far as temperment - he is a Lamby Pie.  Snuggly, silly, and very kind.  Likes belly blows, chewies, and appears not to have an type of aggression, people or food.  We gave him a big chewy at the Vet - and he started to whimper and moan with joy while he chewed it.  Julie took it from hin several times - no aggression at all.  He pretty much fell aslleep durring his 15 minute exam.  I think you can tell what kind of fell he is by the attached pictures Julie took...I have to get an I Phone.  Ignore the mess I look, it was a long, stinky, drooly, hairy, day.  These are some pics from Docs office.
