I have been in your situation. My little Bridget developed diabetis, cataracts, severe arthritis and eventually dementia. The diabetis and the cataracts were not nearly as bad as the dementia. Believe it or not, the blindness, was not a huge issue. She seemed to know where she was going. She came to me when called, but she no longer could jump up on the bed due to arthritis and she had problems going up and down the front steps. But once in the house, there really were no serious problems. I was very surprised at that. So, just love her and enjoy her. She will still enjoy being with you. When Bridget's pain and dementia became bad, I had no choice but to put her down. The very saddest day of my life.
