Sunning in the Garden

These two little tykes are both unable to walk. Their legs hurt - the orange pup in front has a deformity of the front legs and the one sitting upright has paralysed back legs. How they love the garden and the nice warm benches. Pups like this experience pain because the affected limbs are so rigid. The warmth of the stone bench provides instant relief. Besides it's nice to take the air in the garden and be out of that little puppy pen of theirs.
The fluffy black dog sniffing around is our blind Raja. He has to be carried to the garden from the blind pen as the way is full of obstacles - like about ten other sighted dogs! Once there, without any hesitation, he starts exploring and even though he bumps into things, he really enjoys himself. After a good brushing and combing for his long fur, he goes reluctantly back into the blind pen. He's learning to 'walk' alongside people in the heel position and his nose works very well! Slowly, we will try to bring our other blind dogs for an "outing" into the garden. I'm sure they will enjoy it as much as Raja does.
