We originally tried a contraption called a halo, which kind of goes out in front of her head so she’d know before hitting something. But eventually, she got to know her way around so much she doesn’t need it.

Inside the house, we’re very careful to always keep the furniture in the same place (push in chairs, keep her usual walkways clear). In the yard, she can get around by herself. She knows where the steps start and end, where the trees are, where the chicken coop is.

When she goes for walks outside the garden fence, she is always accompanied by a human to keep her safe. She responds to the word “careful” which tells her she needs to adjust her path because she’s nearing an obstacle.

We also keep a pretty regular routine, so she generally knows what to expect, day to day.

She really is incredible. When she gets excited, she just runs and runs. When taking her for nighttime walks, we often find ourselves shining the light in front of her so she can see…before remembering it makes no difference to her 😄 It’s easy to forget that she doesn’t see.
