Through Maddie's Eyes

 In our home, wet food is only given during special occasions like holidays and birthdays. So for Maddie's 5th birthday, we threw a milestone party with everyone's favorite "cake," wet food. Everyone received the same flavor and Maddie's "cake" was topped with a little pink candle. As soon as we placed Maddie on the party table, she dove right into her "cake." The smell immediately attracted Link and he was extremely curious. Not even his dislike of Maddie could keep him away from the wet food! Proceed to see several pictures of our cats eating... A little late to the party, Seven refused to join the birthday girl on the table. Instead, we allowed him to eat his food alone in his corner.  Seven's lack of presence did not stop Maddie. I don't think I have ever seen Link eat this fast or be this close to his sister. When Link finished his plate, he

In our home, Christmas is one of the best times of the year because we decorate the house and spending quality time as a family. The cats practically live under the Christmas tree and Maddie enjoys her bonding time with Link and Seven.

At the beginning of last month our little princess turned four!  It is hard to believe that Maddie has been in our home for a little over two years.  As you may remember from previous posts, her adjustment to our home and her brothers only took a few hours.  Since then we have moved into a new home where Maddie has plenty of room to run and play.  She rules the house now. Link and Seven have accepted the fact that their sister is here to stay. Being born without eyes certain makes Maddie unique.  However, it is her love for life and the animals and humans around her that makes her special.  She is the first face you see when you walk through the door after work, she is never far away, and she is always willing to snuggle or play.  Maddie warms up quickly to strangers and enjoys being the center of attention at our parties. Maddie's blindness makes her acutely aware of her surroundings and she often hears bugs or noises before anyone else in the house.  Additionally, ph
