I just said that to my husband the other day, that I hoped he liked how the house was set up, because it not ever going to change as long as Mooch is alive.Originally posted by Shelteez2
You are absolutely doing right by her. Many many dogs live complete lives blind. You just need to be careful not to change things suddenly, just as if you were living with a blind person.
Another thing I've heard of people doing is helping their dogs use their sense of smell to get around. You put a few drops of a scent near certain areas ie. Put a lavender scent at the top of stairs, or a few drops of peppermint in a doorway etc. (I'm not sure if I explained that properly).
I like the idea of putting smells around, even through she does pretty good getting around I have noticed that she doesn't sleep in her bed any more. Maybe that will help her find it better. It's just a small step up into her bed, but I think she not sure, when to take that step now. So she been sleeping on my husbands clothes that he leave on the floor. I noticed that she finds them by the smell of him, I would guess. Maybe diry clothes in her bed.Thanks





Thanks
