Keelin was born 7/13/03, however, she was born
mostly blind.
At about 4 1/2 months old, she
is a very active
Collie puppy. Keelin has been with us about 5 weeks
and is making a lot of
progress. There are times that you can tell her
vision is impaired--the way
she tilts her head, sometimes balks at steps and
doorways, and loses a kitty
in a chase (the kitty goes up!). Her appointment
with the ophthalmologist is
Dec. 6 to determine the extent of her disability.
Keelin lives with 5 other dogs and 3 kitties. She
has quickly learned how
to get along with each of the dogs. She has been so
good for my 13 1/2yo
Collie April. April helps Keelin to be more
confident when walking and
sniffing around. And Keelin has gotten April
romping and playing again.
She is still learning not to chase and get rough
with the kitties.
I use a harness on Keelin and she is doing well
walking on the leash. She
is also learning some commands and I'm sure she
understands no! There have
been no accidents in the house or her crate. She
tolerates the crate very
well. It's been a week since Keelin's spay surgery
and she is recovering
nicely.
Despite her disability, Keelin is a very happy,
playful, smart, fluffy and
beautiful Collie puppy.
Keelin is being fostered in South
Dakota.
