thanks. he's doing pretty good all things considered. still sleeping a lot but that's to be expected at 18. He continues to eat and drink normally. He sure gave us a scare when he stopped eating/drinking. He continues to handle losing his sight pretty well - we're just making sure we don't change anything around in the house because he knows his way around as it is set up. he has been asking to go for walks out front again even, I stay right with him of course since he can't see I don't want him wandering into the street. he just meanders slowly down the driveway and usually lays down in the front yard.
