Sheila the Dog needs a home
Sheila is my hero. She's absolutely fearless as she makes her way in her darkened world. The first night she was exploring the back yard to make sure there weren't lizards or bunnies invading her territory. She hasn't been exposed to cats but she likes the deer that feed outside the fence, even going up to them and poking her nose through the fence so she can get acquainted. She maneuvers quite well around the house and yard, responding to "Watch" when she looks like she is going to hit something and then she changes direction.
She makes her wishes known by coming to me and nuzzling to let me know it's time to go outside. But my favorite is when she does her happy dance at mealtimes. She does a little growl and then she turns round and round on her hind legs, tail going ninety miles an hour (that's unofficial but I have it on good authority). She's easy going about bedtime, she likes the big bed but is perfectly content in her own bed as well. She is happy with other dogs but if they try to get between her and her treats, she lets them know that isn't acceptable, food is very important to Sheila!
I had never thought about dealing with a blind dog and was little apprehensive, but she has taught me that it's really no different from a sighted dog, they all need to be loved and appreciated. If you give Sheila a chance for her forever home, you won't be disappointed. I think she will amaze you the way she has me.
