My old girl, put down last May 22 at 14.
(lemmy.world)
She was mostly deaf and blind her last few years, but she managed perfectly fine on her own unless we moved stuff around. She could still see shapes, and when I turned to look at her she would still wag her tail, so not fully blind.

Eli getting blow dried after his bath
(ani.social)
Eli loves swimming in lakes and rivers. He will lay in a stream and slowly blep up the water. He will, under no circumstances, go into the bath willingly.
Luckily, he is a good gentle boy and will allow me to put his paws in to get into the tub. Once he is washed and rinsed, we dry, and dry, and dry. We have to blow dry him after he is towel-dried or he will mildew.
Being blow dried is also one of his favorite things, which is good because it takes three people half an hour to get it done. It would go faster if I had one of those harnesses that stopped him from laying down and rolling over, but he will will over if you are gentle.
