Blinker's Story |

Blinker's UPDATE 2016: I will be 6 November 15, 2016, so I have now lived at the Sanctuary for 5-1/2 years. I have trained 1 blind puppy, I am ears for my deaf fur brother Gibbs, and I love to sleep with cats but don’t like to have my teeth brushed. As a reward I sometimes get to share an ice cream cone with Tanner. I learned to stay away from skunks after 4 tries, Skunk 4 me 0. I have a new “Dog Den” it is under the “Catio” I love it. | |
Blinker's Youtube videoHi my name is Blinker I am a blind Catahula. When I was 3 months old I was tied to a fence during a horrendous thunderstorm. I was found by Ken Smith, Director of Animal Control, Del Norte County California when he came to work that morning. He found me still tied to the fence, wet, cold and scared. Ken has worked with Katie before so he new who to call. I live here with my fur brothers and sisters. I am clicker trained thanks to my really good friend, Marty from Pawsitive Training, who always has the best treats ever. I have learned to paint, fetch and herd a ball. I have even trained my first blind puppy. His name is Tanner. They call it the blind leading the blind and I am really good at it. Littler brothers are a pretty big challenge because they have sharp teeth and steal toys and attention. Katie and I share a birthday and every year we do something special together and its always fun. I love water. I like to roll in the lake like I do in my pool but at the like I sink. The lake is deeper than my pool. So now when I go to the lake I have to wear a life jacket with a handle and a long leash. Katie is such a worrier. |
