Have started reading on "how to" but would like to hear some real life situations and maybe some helpful tips, etc.
I use to own a dog business and the dogs that went blind did fine. Their sense of smell increases and that really helps. My cousin has a Lab that went blind from diabetes. She is fine. The moved from PA to CO and she had no problem adjusting to the new house. My cousin talks to her a lot and she appears to be happy and comfortable.
