Eye Disease

I have Conjunctivitis.

My eyes are very red and are oozing some very green goop. I had to visit Dog-Doctor the other day because my eyes were not getting any better and I just don't look as handsome when I have green goop sliding down my nose. Dog-Doctor looked in my eyes with a flashlight and decided I have Conjunctivitis. I had to sit very still when Dog-Doctor checked my eyes. I guess I did really well because Dog-Doctor gave me a treat when she turned off her flashlight!

Dog-Doctor and Mom said I caught Conjunctivitis from the dirt in the snowbanks. Everytime I am outside I must stick my head in the snowbanks and smell all the critters living and dead.

Dog-Doctor and Mom want me to stop putting my head into the snowbanks so I won't get Conjunctivitis again in the future. I told them that I would think about it but, between you and me, I know I just cannot stop!

So now Mom has to put eye drops in my eyes three times a day.

Even though I can't stop putting my head in snowbanks because doing so will force me to be less of a dog than I am meant to be, I will be careful to stay away from any dirt so it doesn't get into my eyes anymore and give me Conjunctivitis.

Thought for you humans:
What is in your eye that keeps you from seeing things so clearly? In other words, what are your prejudices, stereotypes, and ideologies that ooze from your eyes and get in your way of dealing with people in positive ways?
