Ruby is gone but will never be forgotten...

If you've come here looking for information on your dog going blind or what it is like to live with a blind dog because it is happening to a member of your fur family, you should come away satisified that when a dog goes blind it is not the end of the world.  Blind dogs are very special and that this has happened to them is more than likely harder on the human than the dog.  I won't be adding any more entries to this section for I lost Ruby last night.  I had almost 2 years with Ruby after she went totally blind and those 2 years I wouldn't trade for anything. 

The entries for now are entered backwards, with the beginning of Ruby's story on the next page.  I started detailing her progress from the first day, back in June 2005.  Ruby had an eye injury that took the sight of one of her eyes when she was about 5 years old, and when she was 11 1/2 she had a glaucoma attack that took her good eye.   

Hopefully Ruby's story will give you hope that blind dogs can, and do live very fullfilling lives.

Thank you so much Wanda. I am totally devastated today, but I know with time it will get better. At least I hope so! I miss her so bad right now!.

I am always so sorry to hear of the loss of a furried family member. It is never easy but especially so for you because of all the things you have endured together. Hang in there.....and Sapphire too.

She's probably running around amazed at all the beautiful things she can see once again!

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you Pam. Yes, I miss her so bad still. I didn't realize how much time I spent devoted to making sure Ruby had everything she needed where she could easily get to it and making sure she had special attention. There is now a huge void where she should be.
