I'm Angel, I was rescued,(from backyard breeders) with my sister and 2 brothers when we were 5 weeks old. I'm what humans call a "lethal white/double merle" Australian Shepard. I was born blind and deaf and even look like I have no eyes (it sometimes scares people). My brothers were fine but my sister Kira also has an eye condition "Iris Coloboma." I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. Before you ask, no I can't be cured. Sometimes I wish I could see and hear like most, but, I can't. I can feel and smell way better though. The way my story goes is this: My (human mom) and her sisters were visiting (my human gramma) 5 years ago. That's when she heard about me and my family. Originally there were 7 of us but 3 died early (they say it's cos we were born in January n kept outside). We were kept in a little cage together (my dog mom was taken from us when we were almost 4 weeks old something about other babies) so from then on we stayed alone (we couldn't play coz our cage was way too little for that)laying together, waiting for the people who came to feed us. They didn't hold us, take us to doctors or any stuff that puppies really need or like. Then lots of humans believe we can't think, feel or any stuff they consider only human abilities. My sister n brothers were very lovely and the plan was to sell them (Kira and Zuli had such beautiful fur that some poeple wanted to pay extra money for them) me..well originally they were gonna use me and match me with my dad for the fur color but then they discovered that not only couldn't I see but I couldn't hear either. (See if I was only one or the other, they could use me) but the double whammy made it impossible. Sorry to say it but the only choice they thought of was to eliminate me. That's the way it works for many of us. We can't make money or anything so there is no use for us. Thankfully my human mom n her sisters came along when they did. They marched right up to where we were living exchanged heated stuff with the breeders n next thing any of us know is we were warm, safe, held, snuggled, eating alot n happy. Course I can't forget this lovely lady doc that gave us shots (that hurt) and medicine to make worms go away. Mom can tell you about driving (with all these puppies n having to stop every so often because of the need to remove those things from our backsides) For a while it was confusing for me, I used to do this thing called circling (where I would walk in circles before doing anything at all, my sis did it too) it was also difficult learning where things were so I wouldn't get stuck or bump into things. Lucky for me I had my siblings when I got stuck in corners and such. They would come n guide me (especially Kira) with their noses n heads, so I could go in the right direction. I wanted to sleep with mom but I ended up falling off the bed bunches of times before I figured out how to find the edge before the fall. Then mom helped cos she would always leave the right amout of room between her n the edge just for me (she still does) Anyway now a days it's hard for folks (who don't know me) to even recognize that I can't hear or see (until they get close) cos I go up n down steps, know my yard n can do pretty good on my own. Course mom can't change furniture around or anything but she's okay with that. I also love to play with mom n Kira. People even slow down (in our neighborhood) if they see me, when driving cos they know I can't see or hear so I may wander too close.
