Blanca_crammed_in_chair

Blind-and-deaf Blanca, our new arrival from Mexico, has decided her favorite chair in the house is my chair in the living room.  The only problem is that the chair isn’t exactly sized right for a lanky and growing Great Dane.  We were fixing up the dogs’ dinner (that’s what blind Kenai and blind Evelyn in this photo are waiting for) when Alayne noticed Blanca crammed in the chair, legs thrust out and head buried.

Last night I found a few minutes to catch up on some stockpiled reading material (The Horse and Equus magazines, in case you’re wondering), and at one point I got out of the chair to go open the door for one of the dogs.  In the 30 seconds it look me to leave the chair and walk to the front door and back, Blanca climbed into it and plunked herself down.  She apparently had just been waiting for me to vacate it, and made her move!

Here’s a photo of the chair thief taken a couple of days ago, showing her a a bit more comfortably arranged in it.  One of our blog readers referred to her ears as "catcher’s mitts," and I think he was on to something.

    Looks like you’ll have to start a strange sleeping positions log for Great Danes–this is No. 1! It took a while to figure where all the parts were! The second photo helped.

    Funny lady! Wondering how she would know your chair is available I guess she feels your whereabouts via the floor?
    And I think YOU can feel it when she plunks down too 🙂

    She is really something! Hard to believe that she couldn’t hear you leaving the room. Glad to see such comfort. Hugs to Blanca!

    Something awfully cute about a gangly, horsey looking dog trying to fit into a small space. Do you wonder how she knew you had left your chair? She couldn’t see you get up and walk away. She couldn’t hear you get up and walk away. Did she smell your scent as you walked away but your scent would still be on the chair. I find that remarkable that she could know the chair was vacant!!!

    It looks like she grew from the time you took the photo of her looking up to the time you took the other one! I love these pics! She obviously loves to cuddle & the fact that your scent is there is a big plus for her. (I think she’s sort of fond of you.) Too cute!
    Sending big hugs to all,
    ginger & the critters

    It’s great that Blanca can be so comfortable as to perch in your chair so quickly after you vacate it; you know, she’s probably doing it all for you…just trying to keep it warm and retain a body shape. Yeah…that’s it! 🙂
