If you happen to follow me on Instagram, then perhaps about three weeks ago you saw the group project that my sheltie and bulldog engaged in. You see, Charley (the sheltie) is a stealth ninja kleptomaniac. She can get up on the highest counter or table and quite gracefully and without a sound, steal any number of random things. Things that it doesn’t even make sense for a dog to steal. Like, say…my glasses. She is in a pack leader power struggle with Bawb (the bulldog) so she sets him up whenever the opportunity presents itself. I’m pretty sure the day she stole my glasses she said something like this to Bawb…”Hey, dude. I know for a fact if you absolutely decimate these glasses mama will love you so much that she’ll give you extra cuddles and treats.” So being a good boy who wants to please his mama, Bawb took my glasses out to the yard and ate them. Literally. I only find a shard of one lens and a few pieces of frame. Needless to say, no one got extra cuddles or treats. But the vet did get a call.
As the title states, about a a week after the eating of the glasses a fortunate stroke of serendipity entered my life via Firmoo, an online optical store. They asked if perhaps I would be interested in reviewing a pair of their prescription eyeglasses. Umm…yes. Are you kidding me?? I was getting ready to buy a replacement pair so seriously, could there have possibly been better timing?
Trust me, I was apprehensive because I have never ordered actual prescription glasses online. It was kind of a scary proposition. They have an excellent selection of frames, but they all seemed bigger than what I typically get. Fortunately I was able to upload a photo of myself and “try on” each pair. That really helped in the selection process, but I was still a bit wary.
I received my new glasses about a week after I ordered them. Believe me, I tore into them like a kid at Christmas. I put them on and was immediately in love. Why had I always gotten smaller frames? What had I been thinking? I guess I figured with my little elf face big frames would look ridiculous. But au contraire my friends, they were fabulous. And the prescription was spot on. I can tell you with absolute honesty, if you’re considering getting new specs then Firmoo is definitely worth checking out. Oh, and maybe keep your glasses in a lock box to keep them safe from stealth ninja shelties.
