Hi QueenScoopalot(I love your name!)

My Helen was blind for the last 12 years of her life. I rescued her when she was 5 years old from a farmer that didnt want her anymore. She was blind because he tried to shoot her, but only managed to blind her and shoot off her bottom jaw. She lived to be 17 years old. She got along just fine, great infact, and never had a problem getting around. I never saw her bump in to anything, and when she was playing with the others, she would actually get up and run from them. Now not having a bottom jaw was a liitle more difficult for her. She could only eat soft food and would get it up with her tongue. After she would get done eating she always had food all over her face, and I would have to wash it for her. That's how she got her nick name "Food Face" She was such a love in my life, and brought a whole new meaning to the words unconditional love!
