And I must say that you guys are doing a great job. Kudos to you. Keep up the good work. You are so correct Marge. These pets are really amazing. We indeed have a lot to learn from them.

We are an all service pet company. Mainly pet sitting & dog walking; but I also have groomers & a pet photographer & pooper scooper. The dog in my arms is Charlie, the dog i was telling you about. He's both deaf & can only see distance, not close up. He has difficulty walking because of disintegrating discs in his back. But as long as he gets his pain meds every day he makes the attempt. Watch someone walk by my fence & he's off and running after them--just like old times. He is truly the best dog I've ever had; intelligent as they come. And, don't tell me animals don't communicate. We have a Chihuahua staying w/ us right now & he's figured that I'll do anything for Charlie. If he wants to go out, he goes over to Charlie, they touch noses & next thing you know Charlie is next to me, asking to go out!! It's amazing to watch. We really can learn so much from watching our animals & learning to pick up on their cues to us. You have to love them! Yes, I just started Luv All Creatures in September.

I feel relieved when I come to know about people like you who actually treat their pets just like their own babies. By the way I stumbled upon Luv All Creatures. Is that your site Marge? I went through some of the stuff. They are amazing. I also liked the jet black Maltese you are holding in the picture.

We too had built up a rapport which can be astouding at times. If we are outside, I signal him when it's time to go back in by stretching my arm out and bringing it toward my chest several times. He caught on fast that this meant I was going in and wanted him to come too. He used to go outside in the backyard by himself but now that he is deaf he wants me out there with him; I almost always accommodate him. I never want him to feel lonely. Thank you for this article because many older dogs become deaf and it is necessary to act differently with them. I have a 14yr. old Maltese/Pekapoo who is deaf.
