Dogs that CAN see sometimes have problems.

Friend had a station wagon. When they went anywhere, opened the back side door and the dug (Buddy also) jumped in, on the seat then into the back.

Friend got a NEW car, a 4 DR sedan. Went for the first family ride. Buddy jumped in, on the seat then BAM! smack into the inside of the back window. Buddy had good eyes, too.

So, don't move the furniture around and he'll be OK. Won't know the difference.

My little buddy (R.I.P. Roat) was bling & couldn't hear very well, but was still a happy puppy. As elwood-914 said, these guys adapt very well... Just keep loving him & he will be fine..

Teach him to play guitar.
Then he can be Blind Buddy Ray.

My girlfriend has a blind cat. She gets around pretty good for the most part.

Thanks Les, that is all good to hear. He's doing alright for now. I too think this is something he has been dealing with for a while. He has been biting my hand when I give him a cookie, and even though he has always been "enthusiastic" when it comes to treats, he would never nip my hand. Now I understand better. he is doing good. It's me that needs to be trained I think.

Man, that choked me up.

My dog Max, who died earlier this month, went deaf last year. We didn't even realize it for awhile. I just thought he was getting old, stubborn and chose to ignore me talking to him. It sure didn't seem to bother him. I think Buddy will do just fine.

My daughter's dog (I say that but he's more mine than hers) went completely blind almost two years ago.
He bumps into things sometimes but gets around well. He is a very happy loving dog.
Dogs can get along just fine without eyesight.

I know how you feel. My two ferrets (Cinnamon and Spice) were put down last week due to cancer. They were sisters and were almost 9 years old. I miss them very much, as does our Golden Retriever Daisy since they were her buddies!
