These eyes belong to Francisco, our Husky-wolf rescue dog. He's afraid of storms, gunshots, fireworks, and other dogs. Oddly, he gets along well with cats.
This fearful eye belongs to Cody, our Chow mix that was severely abused by his first owner. I have spent years helping to restore his trust in people.
This is the blind eye of Phoebe, our rescue sheep, looking like the Earth from the moon. Her other eye unfortunately had to be removed because of damage. I found her dying on the side of the road, where we suspect she'd been hit by a car. The vet did not want to tell me she probably wouldn't make it.
But she did, through much nurturing. And--a big surprise to us all--delivered Finley a month later. We had no idea we were rescuing two! He has beautiful eyes.
And of course, the eye of Avo, their rooster. He thinks Phoebe is his big, fuzzy "hen" and is certain Finley is his son. His secret desire is for all of us to be part of his flock.
Check out all the other eyes at Sunday Stills.

Great shots, Avo seems to be the master of his domain..:-)
Terrific eye shots...especially the commentary about each of your critters, too. Phoebe's story is so heartbreaking. Bless you for giving her a good home :)

ps You asked how I got my kitty to pose for the photos, two words: Peacock Feather
lol!
Seriously, I shook it all around, and her eyes and sometimes her paws followed it. She was entranced. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment.
I hope you have a wonderful week.
I really like that last photo!
Bless you for giving each of your animals a good home. The rooster is my favorite shot what an attitude.
That's quite a family there...
love the stories! cool shots!
Well done! The rescues and the photos! Thanks for sharing..I would venture to say you have kind eyes yourself! :)
Fun eye's! Love the stories that go along with your pic's. I think Avo may be my favorite...
Poor dog, poor eyeless sheep. Do you run an animal rescue centre?
I used to be with a Cat Cafe where we rescue wild cats when I was in Singapore.
Thanks for visiting my site.
Great shots - love that rooster!
Fabulous pics! You have a good heart to take Phoebe and care for her.
I am so glad I visited your site. You obviously are very compassionate about animals and I appreciate all you have done. Great shots and I loved learning more about each critter.
Good job! Love them all!
Cool Shots! I like the last two very much. Nice frames too. :D
Great job, Avo looks like HE is in charge. Nice to see other people who take in abused and neglected animals.
Oh, what a beautiful post; I love animals. I almost cried when I read about your rescue of Phoebe, how wonderful of you to give her back her life! I'd love to photo my pets like that, but I'm not sure they'd stay still long enough.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your input on my doors!
