Boy, that’s really great! I’m so happy for you. I know what it would be like if my beloved Sheepdog was deathly ill, so I certainly share your joy.

I had a dog back in the early 80s… she looked like she was part Dalmatian and about the size of a female pit. And, she was also deaf.

I got her from a neighbor who had given away the rest of the litter she was born to and only had this one pup, the runt, left. Anyway, the dam’s owner was gonna ship this last pup off to the pound unless someone took it and being the critter person I am, I took her home with me.

She was an amazing animal. I swear she had ESP. She could be in the back yard, wayyy back and asleep in the shade but when I’d look out the window at her, she’s immediately lift and turn to look back at me!

She was quite a piece of work!

That’s such a wonderful story! When Cookie developed her cataracts and glaucoma, some stupid people recommended that I put her to sleep because “what kind of life would a blind dog have” but, after all the money and time and multiple doggie opthamologists, she’s doing A-OK seven years later.

It’s so wonderful as a dog owner, after seeing your baby sick and not doing so well, doing better and happy with life. Within a day after her surgery to remove her eyes, Cookie was back up and bugging Muff (my mom’s old dog), wanting to play. I cried because after all she had been through…she still had that amazing doggie will and spirit.

That’s great news and I’m glad to hear the pup is doing better. I’m a dog person myself.
