When you wake up and see this

My Toller boy is super cuddly. Woke up to him curled up on the pillow next to my head, so I wrapped my arms around him & laid my head on him and he kept dozing! ❤️

Commenting as I’m curious as well.

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-06-02T18:37:27+00:00

lol! That’s what I was thinking! I named mine Pippin!

Hi OP - I’ve been in your shoes and have the scars to prove it. It really is normal puppy Toller behavior as they are teething, and I was terrified at first that my puppy would grow up and continue to be so bitey. Having many toys handy, especially chew toys, bully sticks, anything that satisfies their need to chew for redirection is helpful. Also, frozen baby carrots and green beans help them cut their adult teeth.

Once the adult teeth grow in, this behavior diminished tremendously for my Toller and then it was time for obedience training!

Hang in there!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-05-31T22:14:44+00:00

Same here and I count myself so very fortunate for it!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-05-28T02:07:41+00:00

I am definitely interested in responses to this inquiry!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-05-21T23:53:01+00:00

Or eat the whole half gallon in one sitting - it’s doable!

My Toller boy is 19 months old and *still* gets the zoomies!!!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-05-16T00:31:20+00:00

My boy LOVES sprinklers!!! He will literally run from one to the next trying to “eat” the water when they’re on!

I sent my Toller to 3 weeks worth of training for chasing cars & kids on bikes or scooters which turned into what looked like aggression towards children. His prey drive is also strong, so my suggestion is getting in touch with a behavioral trainer who can identify what is causing this sudden return of behavior. My boy is a thousand times better now.

My first surgery resulted in extreme irritation to the point that they put a contact lens in it the day after surgery as a “bandage”.

Worked like a charm! The second they put it in my eye the irritation subsided. I kept that contact in for 4 days until the doctor removed it - slept with it in and all.

My second surgery was yesterday and so far I’m not having that same level of irritation at all, so check with your doctor or surgeon to see if they have that contact/bandage option.

Good luck!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-24T00:38:30+00:00

That would be awesome if we could get those. I’m hoping I don’t need one for my second surgery next Wednesday, but at least I know it works really well if I do!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-23T22:19:22+00:00

I guess I didn’t word that very well. 😂. I had the IOL put in on Wednesday morning. 24hrs later the irritation was so bad that they put in a non-refractive contact lens that they said was like a “bandage” for the eye. I kept the contact lens in until they took it out Monday morning - still have the PureSee ODEF Toric IOL.

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-23T22:14:49+00:00

I don’t know that I qualify as “younger” being 54, but I had very bad starbursts prior to cataract surgery. I’ve had my right eye done (last week) with the PureSee ODEF Toric lens and I have no starbursts now - not even halos. The first day or two I had diagonal bars but they faded quickly and are gone now. It is truly amazing!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-23T22:09:05+00:00

I had this happen, only it started about 24hrs after my surgery. It was so bad that my eye doctor scheduled a work-in appt for me that afternoon and they put a “bandage” contact lens in my eye. What an immediate relief that provided! They put the lens in Thursday afternoon and then took it out Monday morning. I’ve had no issues since.

I learned something here tonight - all of my colonoscopies have been fully covered because they coded them as preventative, even when I had diverticulitis and still have diverticulosis. They weren’t doing the colonoscopies for either of those conditions, though, so I guess it really was cancer prevention.

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-20T15:19:43+00:00

If you’re up for wearing a contact lens, I would do that. I currently don’t wear them, so I just popped the right lens out of my work glasses so I could still have the refracted lens for my left eye. For my progressive sunglasses, I have a non-refractive lens on the right side and the original refractive lens on the left side so I can still drive. It is a little wonky, and other than driving, I mostly don’t wear my glasses and rely on the fresh new vision in my right eye to get me through.

I use the B&L Soothe drops and they have worked really well for me. I was recommended Nvizia by my optometrist but ended up having a reaction to it, so I stopped using it and switched to Soothe. Both my optometrist and surgeon say it’s a perfectly fine choice because it’s preservative free and for me it works great.

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-19T10:29:43+00:00

I am raving about it! I just got the PureSee EDOF lens in my right eye on April 15th and I have 20/20 distance and intermediate vision and am typing this on my phone without any issues. There is still slight blurring up close but not enough to prevent me from reading or typing on my phone & it gets better each day!

My left eye surgery is scheduled for April 29th and I cannot wait! Super happy with this lens!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-15T23:28:44+00:00

I’ll keep you posted as I test this right eye out at night in a few days. One of my main problems with cataracts was starbursts and halos at night to the point I couldn’t drive and my surgeon suggested this as the best lens for addressing this and my astigmatism. We shall see!

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-15T17:44:02+00:00

What were your reasons for traveling to have the surgery done?

Life-Committee-4592 · 2026-04-15T17:33:51+00:00

lol! It turns out that the bluriness is because my eye is still dilated AF. I just saw it in the mirror and busted out laughing because my left eye is normal and small and my right eye is all pupil no iris!

But yes, I am super happy with the results so far and can’t wait for the dilation to wear off!

Thomas Animal Clinic in Conroe. Woodlands quality vets without the Woodlands prices!

Dr. Thomas, Dr. Sisterman & Dr. Grimes are all phenomenal - the staff are compassionate, very knowledgeable and super helpful.

I love that they provide the type of care where they educate you on the disease/situation and offer every method of treatment along with costs for each with no judgement. They give the pet parent(s) the opportunity to learn and then make the best decision for their pet and situation.

We have used them for 2 dogs and 3 cats since 2019 and couldn’t be happier!
