I'll probably just copy existing posts from this blog on that one and try to organize them in some way that would be relevant to someone searching for information--and hope.<BR/><BR/>Javagirl, I'm glad you caught Barney's problems so early and glad Butch's story was comforting to you and your hubby.<BR/><BR/>Ex-Shammickite, isn't it amazing how well they adapt? I took Butch to the vet on Monday, and he totally has their floor plan memorized, too.<BR/><BR/>Janet, refreshing the various scented oils seemed to help a lot, but I think the changing seasons made the biggest difference. I'm pretty much convinced that allergies were messing with Butch's sniffer.<BR/><BR/>Sister-Three, he's certainly taught me a lot! I like the Shakespeare quote.<BR/><BR/>Duly Inspired, (heh! I accidentally typed "dully inspired," but that would be MY name, not yours) Butch is a special little guy, all right. I hope you'll come and meet him one day.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-28020898788833119772008-01-14T10:00:00.000-06:002008-01-14T10:00:00.000-06:00This post got me.

He's such an inspiration, and I hope that Googler comes back and checks out what you have to say about Butch, because it shows that there is hope. <BR/><BR/>By the way, is he still having trouble finding his way around? I remember a while back you were trying to re-teach him the routes with smells. I can't remember how that worked out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-14968403823464389902008-01-13T21:44:00.000-06:002008-01-13T21:44:00.000-06:00Many years ago, Sweep (sheepdog)became diabetic, a...Many years ago, Sweep (sheepdog)became diabetic, and even though we stabilised her with daily insulin, she became blind.

I read and re-read, and had my husband read everything you wrote about Butch's surgery and recovery.

Bluff wrote such amazing posts about him on her site when his surgery was going on. <BR/><BR/>He is such an incredible boy. Your tales of him fill me with wonder. I know they would touch that London reader too.<BR/><BR/>Why don't you create some links on your blog about it? You have a wealth of info here...maybe they just need help finding it.CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.com
