00:00Jubilee, you a good girl? Can I have your paw?

00:04Jubilee has always been a happy dog.

00:07I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you!

00:10She really lives up to her name of a celebration.

00:15And that light started to dim a little bit.

00:18She wasn't as excited.

00:20One day we woke up and the first thing we saw was she had discharge around her eyes

00:26and it was like she didn't want to look at the light.

00:29So we took her to the vet and the vet prescribed her some medicine to make her feel better.

00:35Unfortunately, her symptoms started coming back and we could tell that she just was not happy.

00:45There was a lot of unknown answers and it was really scary because we didn't know how to help her best.

00:50You got your cute face and you got a lambie!

00:53Eventually we were able to get a diagnosis.

00:56It's a special autoimmune disease, which means the body attacks itself.

01:02We knew eventually she would go blind

01:05and we were told she was going to eventually have to have her eyes removed

01:09because the disease would cause her so much pain.

01:13But after her spirits began to change,

01:18her smile returned and her wiggly demeanor came back.

01:23She was so excited to be with us.

01:29She started developing the other side of the disease as well, where her fur would turn white.

01:35Because Jubilee has gone blind, I've had to learn to read her differently.

01:40The eyes say a lot, they express a lot.

01:42And when you take the eyes away, you have to relearn how to communicate.

01:48Do you like your pumpkins?

01:50Scent has become her primary way of navigating the world.

01:54And I think she's really become attached to flowers because they smell so pretty.

02:02Do you want a tomato?

02:04There's also the trust that's built.

02:07She has to rely on us even more so now.

02:11She relies on us to keep her safe.

02:13And I think in exchange, she just gives all the love she can.

02:22And it's been so amazing just to develop such a deep bond with such a unique dog.

02:29We ended up connecting with a local photographer and a local flower farm.

02:35We ended up connecting with a local photographer and a local flower farm.

02:41And we did a photo shoot there, and that was so amazing.

02:45It was funny watching her walk among all the flowers.

02:50Her life isn't that much different than a sighted dog.

02:54Her life is not defined by her blindness.

02:57She can and does live her life to the fullest.

03:02Hey, sweet girl.

03:05One of your fans wants you to get a kiss.

03:10She says thank you.
