I got this shot yesterday of blind Madison in the RTV when I took her with me to do some pasture chores. She loves going for a ride in this vehicle! I took her with me one day a few weeks ago, and that got her hooked. Now, whenever she hears me driving by Widget's House, she runs to the gate and then races back and forth along the fence, trying to get my attention — "Hey, over here! Take me with you!" So I stopped Sunday afternoon, picked her up and plopped her on the seat, and headed off again.
Madison sits up like this while I'm driving (I hold on to her collar with one hand), and I can see her sniffing the air and her nose twitching at different smells. If you didn't know she was blind, you'd think she was looking around as we drove.
When I got out to the pasture to do some fence work, I lifted her out, put her on the ground, and hooked her up to the vehicle so she'd have some shade. She quietly laid down on the grass and stayed there until I finished, then I drove her back to Widget's House. Her tail was wagging as I led her through the gate, and I could tell she was quite happy with her little drive across the ranch.
