I took some flak when I originally named my one-eyed Chihuahua “Popeye,” reflecting his ocular non-conformity. Kris Martin in my office said it would scar him emotionally; I said it would put him at ease. (Anyway, he’s a Mexican breed, so I can just claim it’s my gringo way of saying “Papi.”) Kris came around.
Not so Terry Thompson in my office. He insists Popeye is defective and/or funny-looking. I think he has character.
So Terry took it upon himself to — in his words — use “the magic of reconstructive iSurgery” to “improve” upon my little Mexican spitfire. Thus, THIS picture of my dog …
… has become THIS.
Already, Kris Martin has encouraged the modification, but I don’t know. Better? Worse? I just don’t want to have to change his name to PopIN.
Popeye/Papi is a beautiful fella, either way
All I know is I really like Arnold with tape over his mouth.
@David: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
HATEFUL!
Eyes are like accessories. One may be more appropriate than two at the pool. Two may be more appropriate than one at the Opera. The most important detail is, does the eye color match the bag and shoes? Flexibility is the name of the game.
That tape on AWJ’s mouth is hot!
Can someone hand me my poppers?
I have some friends who own a Jack Russell Terrier who had to have both eyes removed. He can still play fetch (he hears where the ball lands and pinpoints where it is by smell), and he still makes it around the house just fine (well, unless the furniture gets rearranged). And we all think he’s perfectly cute — his permanently-closed eyes give him an “I’m smiling” look. So I say, leave Popeye as he normally is! Be proud of your one-eyed self, Popeye– you’re not alone!
I agree…leave Popeye alone.
He is beautiful just the way he is.
