Hi. My name is Pete. I'm a 4-year-old, orange and white Brittany who was born with cataracts in both eyes: then I went blind.
When I was blind, I engaged in compulsive repetitive behaviors, such as spinning, barking, and pica (eating non-food items). I had successful eye surgery and now I can see again. As a result of me regaining my vision, I acquired a new compulsive behavior; eyeing light and shadows. Fortunately, with the help of my medication, my compulsive behaviors, with the exception of pica, have improved a greatly.
My favorite toy is a black Kong. My foster mom thought it would be good for me because I can't bite through it. I love to fetch and retrieve and could do it all day long. B eing able to see is such a blessing.
If I have trouble finding my Kong, I'm good at a game called Hot and Cold. I respond well to the command "leave it!" when I find something I want to put in my mouth. I listen well to the command "drop!" when I put an object in my mouth.
