Hi Ozzie & Momma Nan!
I haven't been on DC that much but Auntie Sandy emailed me and told me about your eyes! :( I've been thinking about you a lot and hoping you and your Momma Nan are okay. So, is this blindness something that came on suddenly or over a period of time? I want to tell you that my fiance's aunt and uncle's dog Abby - a Springer Spaniel - has been blind for years now and she gets around really well and is one of the happiest dogs I've ever seen! Sometimes you wouldn't even know she was blind until, of course, you see her bump into things as she goes along. There is always a wet nose trail along the sideboard where she makes her way to the door leading out to the porch. :) But she can still fetch and run around outside and everything! I know it was VERY difficult for them at first too. Betty and Jack are SUPER nice people and if you would like to talk with them about it, I'm sure they would be more than happy to discuss things with you... It might make you feel a little more positive about the situation. My email is: sunestaples@aol.com. Write me and let me know if you would like me to have them email you and also I want to know how YOU are doing as well!!! I know you're about to have surgery! Yikes! Take care of yourselves!!! And don't worry - it will take some adjusting, but Ozzie will be fine. One way to look at it is at least he doesn't have some life threatening disease! He will still love you as much as ever and continue to be a wonderful companion I'm sure! Hang in there! Hugs and love, Luke and Mommy Sunny
