One year ago today, Ellie received the life-altering diagnosis of Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome (SARDS). But look at her now! This incredible pup has defied expectations and learned to navigate her world in a whole new way.
@michelemacintyre Its been a year since her SARD diagnosis, and look how far she’s come! You are truly remarkable Ellie, and we love uou tk the moon and back! (She turned 7 on Jan 1). #ellietheminidachshund #blinddogsseewiththeirhearts #bayarea #happybirthday #happynewyear2024🥂🎄🎉🎁🎇
Ellie turned 7 years old on January 1st, making this a double celebration! We’re so proud of her remarkable resilience and her ability to adapt to her vision loss. She may not see the world the same way as before, but that hasn’t stopped her from enjoying life to the fullest.
Her sense of smell has become her superpower, leading her on exciting adventures and helping her find all her favorite toys (and maybe a sneaky treat or two!).
Ellie, you are truly an inspiration! You remind us that even when faced with challenges, there’s always a way to adjust and embrace life with joy. We love you to the moon and back!
