[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 679180, member: 1963"] Lil, you'd have to CATCH Squeaky first! And trust me, that is NOT easy. Squeaky is my avatar, and as you can see from the picture, she is missing her left eye. She was born blind in that eye, and I had it removed shortly after I rescued her as it was causing her constant infections and pain. All that insane jumping around is made very interesting as with one eye, Squeaky has no natural distance judgement. Instead, she "vibrates" her head back and forth in order to triangulate on her target and judge distance. She still occasionally blows a jump. Other than that, her main handicap seems to be occasionally not being aware of where her left front foot is, and wanting to be warned before someone she doesn't trust implicitly touches her on her left side. In actuality, I warn ALL animals (and people) before I touch them. I consider that to be common courtesy, even though Thomas' usual reaction to being touched is to roll over and wave a set of huge, hairy paws in the air. Squeaky will slap the crap out of you.
