 The eyes do tell a lot Wayne. You're right. That's prolly why we as
well as other animals avoid eye contact when we are in pain. Showing
signs of weakness makes us more vulnerable to prey- and yet makes it
more difficult for people who love us/ or our pet- and care to know
we or they, need help.

Gotta look in their eyes. Oh. Yes. :(

It's almost a year (March 31st) our beloved Patches died. I'll never
forget his eyes...
