Thanks to all of you for the support and wonderful ideas!

A little more about me. My husband and I moved out law office home from downtown Knoxville 3 1/2 years ago and we now work from the lower level of our home. I have the blind cat and Lexie with me all day. The other three dogs and the cat get the rest of the house. Lexie sleeps with us.

Lexie received very good veterinary care in Winchester, TN. I am getting her records and will then take her to my holistic vet here in Knoxville. I also have the opthamology department at the University of Tennessee vet school about 5 miles from my house.

Lexie's breeder had her on Blue Buffalo. She came to me with an almost empty bag of Royal Canin which I mixed in with the BB and free feed. Lexie also likes Radar's food (blind cat). I got a tiny red Kong which I will load with peanut butter.

Does anyone know the name of the ball with the tail which moves and makes noises which Wylie's mom mentioned? Lexie's project for today has been to subdue the giant bag of cat food which made it into the office but not upstairs.

I found the Yahoo list re blind dogs! I have also found other resources including a website on blind dog training which is in both English and Japanese.

THanks!

Natalie

Still trying to figure out how to post pictures. Studying the relevant threads.
