"Bath time for Hank"
Went to go spend the day with Storm, Hank and Shaya today….and as luck would have it…
Hank decided to go for a bath….Oh my gosh…was I lucky or what???
The white you are seeing in Hank’s eyes is something called a nictitating membrane. This eyelid is transparent, and sweeps across the eye from side to side. It grows in the inner corner of the eye, right next to the tear duct. This is a protection against getting any water, blood, etc in the eye…So all my bath pictures have Hank with his nictitating membrane. Nothing is wrong with his eyes at all…
