You can still see and smell and Winkie can help cause he knows all about it, aye?? Mum had a deaf dalmation once and he was a great dog. He understood sign language. I bet you will learn all about that too. You're smart Hershey so you won't have any problems. Crikey Mr JF Sir is nearly 14. I knew he was getting on but 14 .... OMD!!!! Maybe we should have a BIG party for him this year!!Charliedownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212403434770733660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659606375210475229.post-19359568767887077832016-04-22T10:57:38.187-07:002016-04-22T10:57:38.187-07:00I didn't know that about you, Freckles!

Mommy thinks I'm barking at smells outside, where I nevfur really barked much at sounds. Mommy and daddy have a friend with Menierre's disease, so we know about that. Happy Barkday!!!Toffee https://www.blogger.com/profile/01421867730635830630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659606375210475229.post-82705250414841040072016-04-22T10:45:36.756-07:002016-04-22T10:45:36.756-07:00Hershey, I too am loosing my acuity in the hearing...Hershey, I too am loosing my acuity in the hearing department...it makes me calmer though...BOL! Growlmy says I don't bark at each passing flea as she put it...though I do startle more when the vibrations around me are too much, or the sounds I do hear are odd.<br /><br />I know a lot of hand signals as well, when I was a wee one growlmy taught me new things every few days and each one had its own hand signal.<br />Sit, lay down, Stay, Come, Up, come round and sit, say woof, leave it, etc.<br /><br />I will be 14 at the end of this month, OMD!!<br />Growlmy thinks my wobbly vestibular issues are making me deaf faster.

I've nevfur had an ear infection, she drives me crazy with ear washes and cotton balls! BOL! So she was almost relieved that it's nerve deafness, even though I'm so young. She has always trained dogs with both hand and voice commands, so I already know Sit and Down and Come that way. Only, now I have to be looking at her!

Jo...We know all about cockers losing their hearing! Joey dog, 14 years old, is hard of hearing now. That was mostly because he has polyps in his ear canals, and has had a lot of trouble with ear infections. Our Charisma was almost deaf by the time she was 12. Miss Ginger had good hearing her whole life, but lots of eye problems. So far Chester is lucky to have good ears with no infections at 7 years old. It comes with the territory when you have cocker spaniels with their big floppy ears. But we just adore them and their lovable personalities anyway! (We know about itchies and allergies too.) Try inventing some sign language gestures for some basic commands. Cockers are very smart and will pick up on them quickly.
