Sadly, little Roxy is no longer with us. This morning she took some shade from the sun under the back wheel of our car.
She was 18 and stone deaf so didn't hear the car start when my G/F went shopping.
We got her to the vet but there was no chance of saving her.
We will miss her.

So sad, and sorry for your loss. These things unfortunately happen too often. Nobody wants to click "like" on the post in support of you, because it says "like" and we like you but don't like the post.

My old one is as deaf as a post.

But he hears food 😒

We thought for the longest time Stan was deaf. All the Pieds in his litter had gone so ( more common in whiter doggos).
After trips to the vets, turns out he has selective hearing.
Can also hear cheese.

Exhibit A- recall. No cheese present.

As you probably know, this type of deafness is specifically related to the piebald/MITF gene. Should not happen in a brindle like Stan, who has very little white, even from the same litter.
