Emma checking in 3-17-08
Hi friends of Emma.
The update is not that good. Even though everyone is up and trying to help her, Emma is depressed. Every hound may be different, but I know my Emma. Keep in mind, it has only been about 6 weeks.
Emma thinks being blind sucks. I can just tell it.
This is the only way I can relate it. She is sleeping a lot. I try to keep her engaged, but it is not working.
Chaps is trying to engage her as well, and she is having nothing to do with him. Prior to going blind, she would have torn him up!
It is not all bad. Last night she jumped on me and went tail wagging at about 3:00am
It was a true joy for me.
I just want you all to know that blind hounds take time. I know Emma is depressed. She hates being blind. I can tell it. She walks towards me and she is mad.
There is nothing we can do after a hound goes blind.
If you have any questions e-mail me. I have a lot of advise
Love, Cat, Chaps and poor Emma

Cat, I hate to hear about Emma being depressed. I know this must be so hard for her, and even harder on you experienceing her pain and struggles. It has not been that long….she is still learning how to live with this, and she has such an inner strong spirit that will prevail. We are keeping you all in our prayers. Love you ~ Audra
I wish there was something I could do to cheer Emma up. I’m so glad she is there with you. There is no place better for her to be. I really think she will overcome this with time.

Hang in there Cat. Our thoughts are with you everyday.
