Default Blind pup

My female 13 year old Lhasa apsa went blind from the progressive retina atrophy which is a genetic problem for this breed. She has her dog beds near us around the house. Sleeps next to my bed at night. She will go to the door after eating or if I tell her she needs to go out to do business. Has no problem coming back to the door. I do go out with her every time. Her sibling does keep a watchful eye on her. She still puts him in his place if he irritates her. Other than being more slower and nesting in her beds she is fine. She lets me know when she wants lap time. I do see her raising her nose up when outside and sniffing. She is the same loving dog.
