ultimate laziness

my dog is lazy. it's an established fact. he's the only canine that does not get up with his owner in the morning. he just lies there, look at you with his sleepy eyes, and goes back to sleep. he hates the alarm. he will bark when the alarm ring, just to tell me to switch it off for him. he's also the only canine (without musculoskeletal disease) refuses to go for walks. i'll have to chase him around the house to put on the leash, then he'll be dragged to the front door. he'll try his bestest to pull the leash backwards so he can go back into the house. all in all, a very good dog.

his eyes are getting more and more teary recently and there is brownish discharge. so i brought him to an opthamologist today. he is diagnosed with a condition called "lazy tear duct". apparently the tear duct has an active pumping mechanism to help drain away the tears. there's no treatment for it, and some suggest that massaging the inside corner of the eyelids may help drainage. WHAT? my dog is so lazy that now i have to manually drain his tears for him! what a spoiled little thing.
