I had a visit from an old friend of mine who wanted the name of the dog eye doctor. It appears that his shop dog had gone blind at the age of seven. I looked at the poor thing and he has cataracts that should be on seventeen year old dog. This fellow builds mostly fences and gates plus some sculpture these days. His dog is one of them faithful types that don't lay to far away from him when he works. His regular vet told him it was most likely from the arc and there wasn't anything to be done about it but he wants a second opinion. So what do you do for your dog's eye safety? His hearing safety? To keep form setting his fur on fire? I got to thinking about that after he left the house. When I am grinding I always just hope that the mutts have enough sense to look the other way but maybe they aren't that smart. One of mine is always under foot and that is an inconvenience plus a safety hazard for me and her. Let me know what you do with your shop dog/dogs when you are working.
