Boomer is fully blind. He lost his vision to Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and eventually had both eyes removed due to pressure and pain. But this isn't a tragedy story—it's a field guide to what adaptation actually looks like when a dog loses his sight.
Over the years of living with Boomer, we've learned that blindness isn't something to fix. It's something to adapt to—together. This video shares 7 lessons Boomer taught us about patience, communication, environment management, and letting go of what "normal" is supposed to look like.
🐾 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✅ How verbal cues become navigation for blind dogs
✅ Why texture changes can startle or support
✅ How to create predictable environments that build confidence
✅ Managing potty training regression with compassion
✅ Multi-dog household dynamics with a blind dog
✅ Why patience is an important skill.
✅ How to handle setbacks and anxiety with acceptance
This is not a "how-to" video with quick fixes. It's an honest, documentary-style look at what daily life looks like when your dog can't see—and what we learned by slowing down and listening differently.
