 Charley
was born in a puppy mill. Probably due to inbreeding, he was born without
retinas and is completely blind. He doesn't seem to know
he's blind and goes confidently wherever he wants. He is usually the
very first one to sniff treats on any visitors who arrive. He has an
insatiable appetite and will steal any dog or cat food he can get into.
Charley loves to go for car rides, but only if he can sit in the front
passenger seat. Once there, he usually sleeps on his back. Florence
tells a story of going to an event with three of the resident dogs in
the back seat, one of them Charley. She said that Charley simply would
not rest until he was in the passenger seat, so she ended up sitting
between two dogs in the back seat for the entire ride.
Charley is getting pretty old and had a stroke recently. After the
stroke, he would sleep almost all day, but he seems to have recovered
fully and is back to his normal nosy, noisy self. He also has a heart
murmur and is on medication.
