I haven't had time yet to go back through your posts that I have missed but I will be catching up this week on all your news.<br />I do hope that you are all safe and will watch for a post that tells me that all is well with you right now!<br />Love....your friend Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-27203547604618796352012-07-01T20:52:52.272-04:002012-07-01T20:52:52.272-04:00Hi Y'all,

She said to tell you that one thing was to be sure the family puts chairs back under the table. Something moved out of its place can be confusing, not to mention he'll will bump into it. Otherwise, just show him around, teach him where the fences and doors are located, etc. The other dogs will help. <br /><br />Now, I want to pass the Sunshine Award on to you. Stop by my blog for Monday to pick it up.<br /><br />Y'all come by now,<br />Hawk aka BrownDogFANCY the Red Standard Poodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369189341017481001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-54258768276631769362012-07-01T16:38:32.024-04:002012-07-01T16:38:32.024-04:00I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy seeing ...I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy seeing your family!!!<br /><br />LeontienLeontienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311969195332643600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-56715103517445679422012-07-01T08:51:45.138-04:002012-07-01T08:51:45.138-04:00We had a blind dog.

Push the chairs back under the table. <br /><br />Use small throw rugs to mark inside doors, bottom and top of stairs, food and water bowls, etc.<br /><br />We used some spare cement pavers to make a path out into the yard from the patio. There was also a patch of mint next to the path if he got disoriented.<br /><br />Hang a small wind-chime outside near the door that he will usually use to get in the house.<br /><br />Multiple water bowls..upstairs and downstairs.<br /><br />Noisy or scented toys...balls with bells inside, kong-type toys with cookies or peanut butter in them.<br /><br />Our boy...<br /><br />http://hillsboroughnjjournal.blogspot.com/2008/08/good-bye-little-guy.htmlHughes ap Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069264462698564387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-19088778086752272312012-06-30T22:09:58.416-04:002012-06-30T22:09:58.416-04:00Traved safely, Kim.

I just read an amazing story about an adopted blind cat and how it has kept the family safe by alerting them to safety hazards several times like candles left burning at night, etc. <br />Yeah for Cheese!<br />And yes, if we get a few more hot days the lakes should be warm enough for me to swim. In my younger days I would already be in the water but as I get older my tolerance to cold is decreasing.Rykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424717988638341638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-45988192567916219802012-06-28T16:55:23.399-04:002012-06-28T16:55:23.399-04:00It has been over a week since we stopped, so we we...It has been over a week since we stopped, so we went back and read you older post looking for news about Sam. He did fight the good fight. We are glad he is at restful peace now and has no more pain. Sandy is lucky in that the other dogs can show him around. I have a deep belief they know each others limitations and help each other.
