Here it is short and sweet, I had actually been looking for a Lethal White aka mxm pup (she’s my first). On a blog I’ve been on for awhile there it was, the urgent message partial blind/deaf Aussie Shepherd only 3 days until PTS she was only 6 months old. I contacted the St. Martinsville Parrish AC officer, they are VERY rescue friendly there in Louisiana. They found her tied to their doorknob one morning. The shelter was full and they had to make some gut wrenching decisions and she was their decision. I called them and told them I would be positively be there to pick her up on Saturday Oct.17, 2009 because that Saturday was AFTER her death date It was critical they knew I was serious and would be there. I brought her home, October will be a year she’s been with me. Her vision in her left eye is good enough to see hand signs she has no hearing though sometimes I swear she can hear and sometimes better than my hearing pups! She is so smart & has learned signing such as out, potty walk, play, goodnight, bye, sit, down, treat, water, good girl, we are working on stay and no! I have a feeling those may take some time lol! She is so sweet, loving and has such a wonderful personality I am in love with her! Hope Livz has gained her weight and is thriving and such a wonderful addition to my family, I have decided I will always have at least one lethal in my pack! We have been invited to help other humans at our local PetSmart with their deaf pups. And we have been asked to go to Texas A&M to speak to a group of kids considering going there for their DVM studies. Everywhere we go, she gets noticed and I know she will help educate others on the plight of the Lethal White and help save many pups. I am so proud of her. Thank you for letting me share her story. ~Judy in Texas
