... and going blind. Would you have it put down once it’s eyesight got too bad? |

i think i would tbh, yeah. i mean the alternative would be to lead him around a lot and i'm sure he'd enjoy being petted etc but i dont think it's much quality of life. if i was blind and deaf (knowing what i'd lost, maybe it'd be different if i was deafblind from birth) i'd want to die too. is this about albert man? |

quality of life. i figure a pet rat would do alright blind, but a dog, less so. my aunt's dog was going blind. one eye totally gone, the other not so good. he'd walk around the kitchen, and bonk into things for a bit. then he'd realize his strategy was not working; carefully walked a perimeter around the whole kitchen with his good eye to map it out more thoroughly |

Thanks for your input fellas! What makes it hard is that when he started having heart problems: adapted and is happy. He went deaf: adapted and happy. He can only see shadows now: adapted and happy. A big factor would be how happy he is still going around places he knows really well: home and the close by walking area. He seems to adapt no ,after what comes at him. Of course if he stops eating and just lies there, hopelessly unhappy, then of course I’ll do the right thing. |

"He can only see shadows now"? How does that even work? Sorry about your Pupp, Russ. I hope he's doing okay (relatively). |

He’s not a pup, he’s 14, and yeah regarding what he can see it means he can walk outside without bumping into things. People from afar and up until very close (in fact m not sure he can faces at all now) appear as shadows now, which makes him weary of anyone who’s smell he doesn’t recognise. Yet he can avoid these objects he sees which means walks are still fine. |

maya seems to have problem with the medium-long distance view, she doesnt see me anymore if i walk too far away from her, should i buy her a pair of glass? jokes apart of course you would put and end to it if you had a far-too rational mind, but you dont do it because its albert. bear in mind that animals consideration is what differences us from arabs for example. |

1) I figured he was old. "Pupp" was a reference to PuppellDust, which is my headcanon for your dog's name. 2) Ah, I see. I was genuinely confused and thought you meant he could only see the shadows cast by objects on the ground but not the objects themselves. 3) Sorry for making you explain things that to you probably seemed like common sense. 4) High five? |
