Meet ira
Ira is completely blind & deaf and i’m not exaggerating when i say living with him is being in the presence of greatness. He is an absolute delight to share life with. When we adopted him there was a lot of trepidation regarding him navigating this house. Our house is a lot; there’s a pond, a pool surrounded by rock, rock walls and just a ton of stuff in our house (I’m a proud maximalist). I cannot even begin to describe how relatively effortlessly he acclimated, how quickly he mapped the house and property and just how self-sufficient he is. He’s also loving, trusting, fun, an avid swimmer & truly just a joy. He’s really connected to his family and also somewhat of a loner while still remaining part of the family dynamic. His downsides are he was not blessed with good hair, it mats like crazy, and he also doesn’t allow you to do much to him (unless he’s in water or has water running over him…it’s the only way to get ear meds in him, cut mats, etc). Because of both of those downsides about two to three times a year we have to sedate him and shave him down but somehow he ends up looking adorable. He is truly a gem.
Ira wears a decorative adjustable collar in an old style, Murray. He’s pretty easy on collars beyond swimming a ton in the summer.

Collars are photographed in their current, worn state (mileage may vary). A decorative adjustable collar is a good choice for him since he’s not a big player and his coat is fairly dry so he’s pretty easy on collars. The only true wear is a ton of swimming in the summer in natural water (no chlorine).?
