Despite being almost completely blind Shadow appeared to have adjusted quite well. However, we knew there would come a time when we could no longer manage his pain with medication. In 2009 the decision was made to remove Shadow’s left eye. We knew we had made the right decision when within two hours of the surgery Shadow was looking to play with his buddy next door and when it came time to remove his sutures he allowed the doctor to remove them without sedation.
Now, approaching nineteen and completely blind Shadow continues to be as sweet and grateful as the day he arrived. Happy and healthy he spends his time next to his buddy Jackson, a paint gelding who is also blind. Though guarded with voices he doesn’t recognize he will happily come to the voices he does and always great you in response, hoping you just might have bought him a cookie.
