I have a black miniture poodle named Mindy. Next month she will be 17 years old. She is blind and her hearing is not as good as it was, but she is loving, happy , and eats well.
In spite of being blind she gets around OK. We don't change the furniture around so she has figured out how not to bump into things.
I also have a Chihuahua named Belle. She will be 12 next month.
She is a sweet sweet dog. Not a yapper. She will only bark if someone comes to the door and then quickly goes back to her bed and crawls under the covers, which is what many Chihauhaus like to do.
The vets love her cause she is so well behaved.
I am blessed to have these sweet , smart , little gals in my life.
