Well, perhaps some of our trepidation was wasted energy. This gal (completely blind but has a bit of hearing) has found the potty door after being taken to it twice, finds her own way back in, knows where her bed is and makes her way there at will, follows the others to the kitchen for supper, appears to enjoy (calmly) having other Pugs around her, sleeps well ....
We are guessing that this is not a new condition for her.
She appears to be quite mature .... probably more 12 than 9.

I had an old, blind and deaf Norwich terrier. He was very responsive to tapping on the floor.
This is a great hint. That "feeling" in the floor, if that's what it is, has her immediate attention. So does cupped-hand clapping (not very noisy but maybe more percussive waves or something?) ....
I board several different dogs that are both blind and deaf in varying degrees. In the kennel they seem to do well with routine and not moving the furniture around. Seriously, I set up their runs and leave it all in place for them. Scheduling and routine seem to really help them. Having other dogs around will also help. They will follow them and their lead.

This is great!
I took in a cat with many complicated health issues, named her Chloe, that was 15 years ago, she's still happy!
There were 25 (I think - we got counts of 23, 26, and 25), but these are a good representation.
We were fully prepared to keep Chloe out of the Pug-traffic, but she was pretty insistent. She followed everyone to the treat-handers, the potty door, etc., and found her bed for private breaks with no problem. The intense focus you see is aimed towards humans lining up Pugs to "sit" for a special treat.
