We noticed in the past several weeks that Trooper, our hound mix from Louisiana with the twisted front leg, has developed quite the relationship with Priscilla, the blind Poodle from Texas. Now, Trooper has had a way with the ladies before, including Blanca, our blind-and-deaf Great Dane. But none of the girls has swooned over him the way Priscilla does. She follows him all over the Widget’s House yard, plays with him, romps with him, and in general has quite the crush on him.
We’re not sure why. She’s kind of upscale, refined, and dignified. He’s ungainly, long-eared, willful, and up to no good much of the time. More like the fellow from the wrong side of the tracks. But she fell for him nonetheless.
She is blind, though, so with apologies to Elvis, maybe she just doesn’t know he ain’t nothing but a hound dog.
