I have taken on a new side job starting yesterday. I have added puppy sitting to my repertoire. This morning "E" had a 25K trail run up in Huntsville (88 miles from her place), so I volunteered to watch her 11 week old Boston Terrier puppy. This allowed her to get some rest and leave early in the morning. So last night I picked up Pugsley and jumped into the deep end of puppy sitting.
If you have never raised a puppy, let me explain how different it is from raising a full grown dog. I was fortunate to have adopted my current dog and didn't have to go through the whole puppy stage. There is the potty training and the endless amount of energy. The puppy does nothing more than eat, sleep, play, and poop. In fact, the thing is a poop making machine. You ever wonder where the poop of people who are constipated go? It goes to the puppies in the world. They poop enough for all the living creatures in the world.
And it's not a normal dog turd. Nope, it's a massive amount of dog crap. You know the fake rubber dog poo that they sell in gag stores? This is the poo they used for the mold. It's about a third of his size each time and it keeps coming out non stop. I know I keep focusing on the poop, but you have to see it to believe it.
Anyway, the puppy is still alive and hopefully I can return him in one piece so that I have other puppy watching chances. If not, there is always duct tape and maybe she wouldn't notice.

Your dog has a "strawberry eye".
Probably congenital due to his early age onset.
This is a prolapse of the nictitant gland responsably for the production of most of the watery tears fot that eye.
Please consult your Vet ASAP.
The gland has to be replaced and NOT taken away.
