| Halo Vest for Presley.. So my Presley who turns 17 tomorrow has recently gone blind due to cataracts in both of his eyes. It has been killing us to see him bump into the furniture and walls. He hits them so hard and I just feel like he is going to give himself a concussion sometimes. So I began searching around for something that would help him. I found this site... Blind Dog Halo Vest | Blind Dog Head Protection Assistance | Mobility Aid I am going to take his measurements this weekend and order one. I will let you all know how it goes. I was surprised our local news had done a broadcast on it. Just thought I'd share.. I have hope again.

| I ordered the vest yesterday. I think its going to take about 10 days. Its going to be the longest 10 days ever. If this works out, it will so come in handy when we go to the beach in September. He won't know his way around anything there. I hope to get pics and video for you guys.

| Here is a quick video. We received it today. I don't know how to paste it directly in messages yet, but here is a link. I hope to get more up tomorrow. It's going to take a little bit for him to get used to it. He is a little unsure about what's going on. He kind of stands around a bit. He's hesitant, but he will figure it out soon. After 45 minutes he wanted it off. Haha. Presley's Halo Vest - YouTube
