A message about Augie

Hi everyone.  MM here.  I have something kind of serious to tell you today.  There was a freak rat pile accident this weekend, and Augie’s eye was injured pretty badly.  Thankfully even though it was Sunday, his regular vet was on the Sunday rotation and we were able to get him seen immediately.  He got some pretty good pain meds (judging by his behavior later that night) and is resting comfortably.  We went in for a recheck this morning, and it’s still too early to know what the fate of his eye will be, but we are hoping for the best!  Tonight he is chilling and enjoying some peas.   (Photo is obviously pre-trauma, enjoying some burgers).

Augie wrote a little poem for you about his adbenture:

My mom freaked out and called for Dad
my brothers hoped they wouldn’t be mad,
It was an accident, but kind ob a bad one
I know whatcha your finkin’
“I want to gib Augie some tasty snacks”, right?
(ok, back to the poem)
Ninja mobes weren’t eben the cause
those ususally only demand applause
It remains to be seen how dis will turn out,
but eben if I can see out it or not
I’ll still be happy wiff the one I got!   ~ dis Augie

    Hey, little guy! I’m sorry for the accident and hope you’re feeling better soon. Ratties can make amazing recoveries, so I’m sure you’ll be right as rain in a few days. Tell those brothers of yours to be more careful next time!

    Augie, blessings and prayers you will be healthy, but even if you only have one eye you will still be a great ninja warrior, just like Yagyu Jubei.
