Okay, need a little advice with a dog going blind. [View all]

She has a degenerative eye disease that is common to her breed. We can slow it down, but we can't stop it. The dog is a bit of a house cat. When she was young, we tried to take her to the beach or the dog park, but she didn't seem interested. So, we allowed her to roost at home for all these last few years, and now that she's going blind, I get the feeling that I should be doing more for her. Like taking her around with me on errands, that sort of thing. Or do I just accept that she just feels comfortable at home and buy the usual dog products that will help her move around without bumping into things?

Any one have experience with this?
