Some of you already know but I thought that I should get the word out. Luna has gone blind. She has SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Deterioration Syndrome--fancy name for a pretty mysterious condition). It comes on very suddenly without warning and is irreversible. Pretty depressing for all of us but we are learning to cope. She is navigating the house and yard pretty well but she counts on us to give her advance warning of obstacles. Guess we are her seeing eye people. She still loves to chase her ball (see the new one with a bell inside?) and go for walks so she is still enjoying a "dog's life". Just makes you realize how tenuous life is when things can change so quickly.
