Town: Labelle, Florida Deaf dog: Mimi is a 3 year old Boston Terrier. Just because they are deaf does not mean that they are any different. They love and are every bit as energetic as all of the rest. I have 5 Boston Terriers and Mimi by far is the most loving of all. My husband calls her my shadow, everywhere I go Mimi is right beside me. I have 2 kids and other than a few simple modifications, like explaining that under no circumstance is she to be let out by herself, which we have an acre fenced in for the Bostons to play plus a doggie door. Mimi understands hand commands and body language. It is so funny when she gets scolded (which is less than never) She will turn her head away and pretend she does not even see you! She is the most special dog, I would not trade her for anything and I am happy to have her. When we got her, we did not know that she was deaf. It did not take long to figure it out though. It did not make any difference. She was 6 weeks old when I got her and I own her grandmother and her father. She follows their cues! Human companions: Amy and Kevin Harrell, children Kari-Beth 13 and J 10. Other pets: Paige Boston Terrier My Alpha female She weighs all of 9Lbs, Otis also Boston Terrier and Son of Paige, Father of Mimi, Mandy Boston Terrier litter mate of Otis.

We did not know of her deafness until she was 6 week weeks old, and by that time we knew she was blind in left eye which is also congenital.

Town: Captiva, FL Deaf dog: Closer to death than life, starved, filthy, matted-coat, fragile, confused and afraid, When my wife first saw this emaciated toy poodle at the local "pound",Sharon saw past the appalling appearance. She saw a beautiful being, with a fierce desire to live and love.A staff member explained the young dog's history. A distraught person who reported the almost constant half bark, half screams of a distressed dog, had called the authorities. When the officials arrived at the empty house they discovered the desperate dog in the bottom of an empty swimming pool, no water, no food and no shade from the southwest Florida Summer sun.This rescued dog had been at the "pound" for one day and the veterinarians were not sure she would survive.At the moment Sharon was introduced to this wonderful animal, the dog wrapped her front legs, as tightly as her weak muscle could, around Sharon's ankle. Two spirits met and bonded in love.With medical care and grooming she was as fresh as a daisy, and so Daisy came home to her new family.Daisy was showered with loving acceptance and patience. During her first visit to a private Vet, the Doc discovered her back knees were malformed. Daisy had a peculiar behavior of walking while holding the top of head tucked down low near the side of her paws. The vet suspected neurological damage.When Daisy did not react to sounds the Vet confirmed our observations of the obvious: Daisy was deaf. The Doc said malnutrition was most likely the cause of her physical challenges.Sharon and I committed to include Daisy into our lives. We sensed Daisy had a great gift to give: the spirit of joyful aliveness. Human companions: Sharon and family Other pets: None Email: sfishercorbett@aol.com |
