Raising A Blind Greyhound?

:) No experience but I wouldn't hesitate. Let me share this poem:

 

I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.

And yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.

I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side

But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.

I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright

For here inside my tiny head it's always dark as night.

I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good

But I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.

"She cannot see. The dogs no good" is what some folks might say

"She can't be trained, she'll never learn She must be put away."

But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it's alright

Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.

You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part

Because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.

Einstein is coming to visit tonight. If everything goes well he is staying. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

 

To visit you? I have heard he is incredibly sweet and lovey. We thought about Einstein when we adopted Cole and several people suggested we go with Einstein instead but Cole had our hearts wrapped around his silly paws. Let us know how it goes!

I've only had experience with a blind cat, and I have a friend who has a blind ferret.

No problems.

The animals are quite amazing at how they are able to mentally map their homes, and use their ears to navigate.

If a blind animal (cat, dog, whatever) found its way to me, I would not hesitate to adopt it.

 

I think a friend for Aya would be a great help, especially when you are away. But, if financials are an issue, I think Aya would do fine as a single doggie.

Not being pushy, but I hope you decide to adopt her!!!! :D

 

hugs,

~Pat
