Wendy M. of Missoula, who adopted blind Stoney and blind-and-deaf Baron from us last year, emailed me these photos this morning. She had family over to visit recently, and as you can see, Baron was getting plenty of love! (So did Stoney!) I've mentioned before that there are these myths that blind dogs, deaf dogs, and especially blind-and-deaf ones, aren't good with kids. The truth is that whether a dog is good with children has everything to do with the animal's individual personality and nothing to do with the disability. That's why there are perfectly "normal" dogs who are snappy with children. But somehow these myths manage to persist. So we are always delighted to see the kinds of photos that Wendy sent, showing her nieces and nephews making all over Baron — and this blind-and-deaf dog just lapping it up!
Meanwhile, after getting her share of attention, Stoney zonked out on the couch:
And that gave Baron the opportunity to steal Stoney's bone, which is almost as big as his head:
As they say … means, motive and, yes, opportunity!
