Which Way Did You Go?!

Having a blind dog in the house can be very rewarding- especially when it comes to play time. It takes a bit more effort to keep Rusty’s attention at playtime, but when he gets hooked- he’s hooked 😉

Take for instance the other day when he found the BEST NEW TOY EVER OMG. A sock. Now, normally I wouldn’t let dogs chew on my socks (I had a particularly nibbly chihuhua that would literally chew holes in EVERYTHING) but Rusty is pretty gentle and his attention span for playtime is soooooo short.

Rusty finds a new toy…

He found it (it had fallen out of the clothes hamper onto the bathroom floor) and he found it and held it up high as if to say “loookkkiiiittt whhhattt I founnnddd!” How was I NOT going to play with him?!

Funny thing happened- he forgot where I was and playbowed to the litter box 😉 Sometimes silly mixups like that can happen—but it never seems to phase him. He always corrects himself and continues on smiling until I play with him longer.

Playbow!

Heyyyy Waitaminute…THERE You are!

HAVE AT THEE!

 

He truly is a funny little dog… ((just don’t tell HIM that…I think he’s starting to get an ego!))

 

 

 

Who’s that scary face?

I have never seen him make this face in my life O.O

This dog is so silly where toys are concerned, but generally speaking he gets bored with them quickly. I can understand that, though, because since he can’t see the toy, I imagine that’s one less reason why toys would be so interesting…since many dog toys have different visually stimulating aspects, I can see why that wouldn’t actually help a blind dog 😉

However, usually he tosses something around for a minute then walks away…but as I was snapping this photo, not only did he growl (like a werewolf!) but he made this face before flinging it around again! Both Ada and I were like O.O as you can imagine 😉

 

But of course then he smiles at me with this tiny little happy smile as if he knows that I am taking his photo. It was almost as if he was saying “FOR MMMEEEEE????”

Its almost like seeing a child on Christmas! He was so happy to get it!
