Hi everyone……I had fun making a video for Emma who has been blind for one month from primary closed angle glaucoma. I cannot tell you how much she inspires me. Our girl is so smart. She is still a bit depressed and sleeps more than she normally does. Goodness sake, she need time, just like her family. I hope you enjoy her video. See how she makes her way! She is so incredible. Look how she takes her first walk. How pawsome is she?
FOLLOW ME!
More later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
There will be many more videos to follow.

O.K.– I can definitely say……I have no tears left tonight! OMG, I can not believe how well Emma did on her first walk. I know you must be so proud. The hardest thing for me is not being able to jump through this monitor and just hug her tight! Please give her a big kiss and hug….I am soooooo proud of our Emma. Love you Cat ~ Audra

Dear Sam: Follow me is a fantastic song. It is done by Kimiko Itoh. Here is her Wikipedia link.

I found her by researching a Japanese cyberpunk who loves basset hounds.

That was such a wonderful video. I loved seeing Emma walking with her Grandma. Keep up the great work, Emma! You are such a strong and amazing girl!
Thanks Lisa and Melynda. I love surrounding myself with strong women.

I just want to say thank you for the comments. It really means a lot. Our Emma loves every one of them as well. I just feel so sorry for her. I can tell she hates being blind. Who wouldn’t? I know she feels safe however. She tucks in every night right next to me and lets out a huge sigh. I know that she is saying, Thank you Mommy. I love you.
I love you too Emma. Mommy

Hi BJ! Thanks so much for the lovely comments. Our girl has something to say, Hey Hey! (Remember from the Lily Book?) LOL! Today, the luck of the Irish is with her and her family as well. She is our pot of gold!

Cat, I am researching basset hound breeders and ran across your site. Thank you so much for the information. Can you suggest a BHCA breeder that does not have glaucoma in their line? I live in the west. I will also e-mail you privately. I am so sorry for you. It seems like you did so much to honor a breeder. Hey, guess what? You never know who you are dealing with. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your work and dedication to this breed. Rick – Hollywood CA
