This is blind Emmy Lou on the left, about to steal a bone from her boyfriend, able-bodied Zephyr. Our employee Gloria G., who is Zephyr’s mom, asked if she could adopt Emmy Lou, and we gladly said yes. Gloria started taking her home on a trial basis, and Emmy Lou adapted so well that we made the adoption official.
Soon after coming to work here last October, Gloria and Zephyr fell in love with Emmy Lou, and the two dogs would play together every chance they had. Now at the end of the day they both go home with Gloria, and then come back the next day when Gloria returns to work. When Gloria first began taking her home, Emmy Lou was very nervous about getting in the car — but now she insists on riding up front in the passenger seat!
Here’s the next shot in the sequence of photos I took this afternoon at our dog building, Widget’s House. Emmy Lou is moving in on Zephyr’s bone:
Then she snatches it and makes a clean grab:
Zephyr is always a good sport about his pushy girlfriend’s behavior (being blind doesn’t mean you can’t get your way), so he simply swaps bones and resumes chewing:
Here’s what they were doing before the bone-heist occurred:
And now, if you’re wondering what Emmy Lou’s new mom looks like, well, Gloria won’t let me take her photo for the blog! Gloria is leaving at the end of May to return to school in Ohio, so I have a couple of more months to work on her about the photo-shyness thing, but in the meantime, this is as much of her as I can get away with posting:
