She came to us a few years ago. I really never could understand why she wasn't wanted. She found her home with us and became very comfortable quickly. For a big dog she was scared of her shadow, but had a bark that shook the house.
She had the ability to hear food. Yes hear food. She could be at the other end of the house and we could call her until we were hoarse, but make noise like the refrigerator opening and she was in the kitchen in a second!! She knew when it was dinnertime and let everyone know it was 5 o'clock and feeding time. It was incredibly hard to ignore her swatting you with the gigantic paw. She really didn't know she was 170 pounds.
We weren't quite sure how she was going to cope when she went blind. I could feel her becoming depressed, but she did learn some new "blind commands" like back up, watch out, step up, step down. She learned to smell her way around and became pretty proficient in getting around and her depression lifted and she became her old comedic self.
We will never forget the do-it-yourself doggy wash and trying to get her to go up the ramp. Not happening. Then when we did get her to go up ramps to get into the truck she did so on a red carpet, just fitting for the entrance she would make.
She could find her own food on the property, be it either apple trees or tomato plants, she could find it. She would pick the tomatoes right off the vine, only the red ones and doing it all by smell because she was blind!
Nay Nay was one of a kind. My heart breaks to even think of all of her antics and not to have her around anymore. Someday I will get around to cleaning the slobber off the cabinets, but not yet.
