Chief Happiness Officer falls seriously ill

Candy started missing food we'd put on the ground. That's when we noticed her sight had dropped sharply.

We drove a long way to a clinic with an eye vet. Going on experience, the vet checked her blood glucose first — thirty-something. Diabetes. In dogs, it's almost always Type 1.

What follows is a long course of glucose management.

Within a week, the Chief Happiness Officer's eyes turned white; her sight was nearly gone, only light perception left.

This is a major setback.
