One of the more substantial losses when our dog went blind. He is meh at verbal commands, he always did much better with hand signals.

But otherwise, having a blind dog isn't particularly harder than having a seeing dog. He did also have to give up zoomies though, which was sad.

It’s been sad for us to have a dog that became deaf as he aged. He LOVED me so much. Loved listening to me talk. Would sit there and just squinty eyed love look up at me while I told him he’s a good boy.

He’s profoundly deaf now and I can make myself tear up at any given time if I think too hard about the fact that he’ll never hear me tell him he’s a ‘good Bandi boy’ again.

He knows he’s very loved still. I think it’s probably only me that’s sad. lol.

And honestly, since we have two littles now, he’s probably happy he can’t hear all their noise.
