My Life Saver

This is the dog that saved my life.  And so now that he is totally blind I am working with him to ensure that the quality of life for him is top notch.  As it turns out; other than rearranging some furniture he seems to have things under control! When we returned to Mexico I thought it would be difficult for him, since he went completely blind while at home and had to adjust there.  Well I was so wrong!  He came back here and still finds his spot at the gate to bark at the same imaginary issues, and he still finds his favorite spot to sit in the sun, and he has figured out exactly how to navigate his way back into the house both front door and back!  At the beach I keep him on the longest lead I can find and he wanders at his own pace.  When he wants to go down to the waters edge he does; however he never did learn the dangers of the tides so the other dogs still run interference with that and I let them just to keep things the same. There are people that have suggested we have him put down since he is now blind, however he is happy and healthy  with the exception of his sight.  He saved me and now I will save him; the little extra work involved is meaningless when you consider the fact that I would not be writing this if he had not been so devoted to me in the first place!  Watching him enjoy living makes my life fuller, extra work and crazy schedules mean nothing in the  large scheme of things.
Laugh often and live with love, today is what we have!
