Our one and only sable - she is deaf, or as near to it as makes no difference. She is a total sweetheart, and an absolute nut...hence the name. But being deaf doesn't slow her down. She is energetic, playful and as silly as they come. A nonstop chewer, she reminds me every day to have LOTS of doggie toys around the house. She is so visually oriented I haven't had to work hard to teach her anything. She observes us and the other dogs continually, taking cues from them. It has been pretty easy training her. Now to get her to learn dog's tails are NOT chew toys and we'll be all the way there with her training! (Our other doggies are awfully tolerant of her!) She is truly beloved by all that know her, human and canine. The cat might not agree...
Trying to get a fly who has safely wedged himself between the storm door and the main door... fun for hours!
