No she definitely is not blind but that is a good thought though.
So we called her parents, and I was quite dissapointed in the reaction I received. I was all excited to take her on a spa and get her cleaned up so we can show the parents how to upkeep her in the future but we were given a 'no' on every suggestion. We asked if we could take her to our regular groomer since we were already taking Zoe and said her nails seemed a bit long and it would make her more comfortable to trim it down a bit, they said no, they will take care of it when they come back. We said are you sure, we don't mind, it'd be fun for them to go together and it's no trouble at all, still no. We were even told no bath during the 12 days here with us which really surprised me even more, especially in this heat and she's one of those that has a bit of a doggy smell). But too late for that and we will continue to bathe her while she is with us. I'm very dissapointed in them and sorta feel as if they let her down but at this point, I can't do anything as it's not our dog. This experience with them has been a bit difficult as we want to spoil her but we're meeting a lot of resistance...the only thing we can do is what they ask + make her stay comfortable and hopefully teach her a few things.
She has continued to just sit there, still does not want to walk (which we can't even encourage thru treats) or play. So we will let her be and not assume anything. We have plans on 'educating' the parents when they come back though and just hope that the upkeeping will rub off. Thanks everyone for all your thoughts & suggestions. |
