in college I dated a guy with a glass eye (he had a sledding and tree branch injury at age 11) and honestly, it was kinda hard to tell! you knew something was a little different about that eye, but I was totally surprised to learn it was glass!
Reminds me of the story of my dog bite. I was bit by a German Shepard when I was 5. I have a scar under my left eye and below my chin. I was told the dog was unhappy and he was 'sent to the country.' I always pictured him romping through white-fenced fields, happy at last, like Lassie. I mentioned this at a family dinner maybe 10 years ago, and everyone laughed. 'He wasn't sent to the country, he was put to sleep.'
Ohhhhh. I still hang onto my dream of the Shepard, happy at last, leaping through the fields.

this is SO VALIDATING TO HEAR! Did he ever take it out in your presence? (OBV feel free NOT to answer this extremely invasive and personal question!)
He did not! Honestly, I think he hardly ever took it out?? But I’m not totally sure…. We only discussed it once lol.
!!!
OMG. Soo good! Family lore.
