Wendy M. from Missoula, who adopted blind Stoney and blind-and-deaf Baron back in June, just emailed us a wonderful update on them along with some new photos.
For that photo above, Wendy wrote: "Baron's favorite thing to do is sleep in on these cold mornings, so I included a picture of him refusing to wake up even though I've pulled the blankets off of him."
She said, "This weekend we went camping up the Bitterroot for probably the last time this summer. Stoney spent most of the time in the creek while the little one did the "Baron Prance" around the campsite. (Anyone who has seen Baron run knows what I am talking about!)"
Here's a photo Wendy sent of "I'm-a-water-dog" Stoney enjoying the creek:
Wendy wrote, "Stoney has really taken to me (I call her my sidekick) and rarely lets me out of smell range…. Along with knowing how to "sit," she now knows "lay down" and "shake." She's also become a master of squeezing herself onto the couch even when there is no room for her. She still loves going to the dog park here in Missoula and hiking up at Blue Mountain. Her sense of smell and her attachment with me is so great we don't even have to use a leash — she stays right next to me or a little behind."
And speaking of leashes, Wendy said "Baron has improved greatly on the leash and now understands that when I pull on him, I'm trying to help him! He's very responsive now and can go for walks just like any dog."
Here's the family photo from Wendy's weekend camping trip with these two very lucky dogs:
Thank you, Wendy!
