My vet said many pet owners don't even realize their dogs are visually impaired because it happens so gradually and the dogs adjust and compensate.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this was very quick and sudden, but she's a trooper and there are other dogs in the house to make it less stressful. The other dogs are now her "Seeing Eye Dogs," as well. <br /><br />Isn't it amazing how Mother Nature takes care of us?Felicia Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556232226152556397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-52787393876849497542010-09-09T13:14:03.896-04:002010-09-09T13:14:03.896-04:00Wow.

She really has taught me quite a bit and as Sue Ann so aptly said, it teaches us all lessons about adapting to adversity.<br /><br />It's also taught me a great deal about thinking in a more "sensory" mode, something all writers should be good at, right?Felicia Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556232226152556397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-9448516925149957722010-09-09T08:20:14.774-04:002010-09-09T08:20:14.774-04:00Love and prayers to MarkaLove and prayers to MarkaAuthor R.

I'm sorry your beloved dog is going blind, but it sure teaches us lessons on how quickly animals adapt, and how maybe we should too when adversity strikes. And maybe we should also learn to hone all our other senses rather than just rely on a few. May Marka enjoy many more years of love and goodness.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-27748553592141636982010-09-08T23:24:52.114-04:002010-09-08T23:24:52.114-04:00How sad, but also how sweet that your dog can be s...How sad, but also how sweet that your dog can be so contented and loved.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.com
