I got this photo yesterday of wobbly Soba and blind Helen. It sure looks like Soba was whispering some kind of secret into Helen's ear, doesn't it?
I was facing into the sun with the camera, and with the bright snow and the big black dog … well, the camera couldn't figure out how to balance the color contrast. I tried to fix it using my Mac's photo editing software but it still looks a bit odd.
You can see Soba's wide stance with both her front legs and back legs — that's a classic posture for a dog with cerebellar hypoplasia. Soba rarely falls down because she is so good at keeping her feet so far apart for stability.
You may recall that dear Helen had to have a rear leg removed for cancer last year. Already blind, she struggled for a while adapting to being three-legged — I think not being able to see made maintaining her sense of balance much more difficult — yet she's finally got it mastered.
I don't know what secret Soba was sharing, but Helen seemed a bit dubious about the source.
