Hi Katie - Loved the story of Pepe. On those little legs - in the big bad world - who could think they'd do so well out there? But they do. Your little Pepe must have wanted to get to your dad awfully bad. LOL. The funniest comment he got about Jack was from a guy who said, "That was a dog? It looked like a little pig!" You know how older dogs don't have the prettiest fur sometimes - well, Jack is a long hair (wirey) and it just sort of looks like he slept on it wrong all the time. His eyes are white - so that's a shocker too. One guy said he and his son wouldn't touch him because "he was acting weird". Well, Jack (Jack is the Jack Russell's name) will shuffle around until he figures out how to get around .. if he meets a fence, he'll sort of snuffle around and bump into it until he navigates the length of it to an opening. If you don't know he's blind - it looks pretty strange. My friend says that he thinks that letting him have his full freedom to move around outside is what keeps him mobile and he isn't about to enforce an outdoor kennel at his old age...so, he just TRIES to keep any eye on the little fella. For a little fella who can't see the treat I hold in front of his nose until he can smell it, he gets around just fine.
