Not only was she born without eyes but also has slightly deformed back legs and has been diagnosed with cushing's disease. When she first came into foster care she was very overweight which added to her mobility problems. Since she has lost some weight she is gaining more strength in her back legs and is more mobile and with continued weight loss and exercise she will improve even more. She navigates her foster home very well using smell, sounds and memory so any sudden changing of her surroundings can confuse her. When she senses or smells other strange people of dogs she can sometimes bark and growl in warning. She loves being in the back yard absorbing all the smells and sounds and warm sunshine. Another favorite is bike rides in the basket of her foster dads bike. She likes playing with toys and will bark when she hears the other dogs in her foster home playing with toys because she wants to play with them also. And of coarse cuddles and belly rubs are always welcome and loved by Betty, She is pretty much housetrained and has even used a dog door in the past but if confined for very long without access to outside she might have an accident. She sleeps through the night with no problem as long as there are no loud noises to wake her. Some household appliances such as a loud blender can upset her and cause her to tremble but vacuums are ok. Thunderstorms and Fireworks are also a problem for Betty due to her acute hearing. The cost of Betty's medication for the Cushings runs $50- $75 depending on where you buy it from. She was recently spayed and had a dental cleaning.
