Our employee Cindy was over at Widget’s House the other morning when she saw the usual start-of-the-day antics beginning. Most mornings when we let the dogs out, Trooper — the hound mix from Louisiana with a twisted front leg — goes dashing out the door, closely followed by his girlfriend, Priscilla the blind Poodle. Priscilla chases Trooper around the yard, romping and roughhousing with her hound dog of a boyfriend. Often Priscilla’s sister, blind Molly, joins in the fray. (Molly is increasingly showing a lot of, um, special attention towards Trooper. It’s like she wants a boyfriend, too, and doesn’t care that her sister is already dating him. These girls just seem nutty about this Cajun boy.)
Now, I have tried to capture these antics before, but whenever Trooper sees me with a camera, he stops playing with the Poodle sisters, so I’ve never been able to get photos of these morning games before. This time, when the threesome started up their routine, they did so on the front porch of Widget’s House, and Cindy was able to get the photos through the screen door. They didn’t even realize she was there photographing.
Here Molly is giving Trooper a right-hook, while blind Brody on the cot realizes mayhem is nearby and is doing his best to stay clear:
In this one it looks like Priscilla and Trooper have teamed up to get Molly by the ears (not nice!):
But just moments later, Priscilla has the hound by his ear while blind-and-deaf Blanca looks on (sort of):
Finally, when it’s all over, Trooper makes nice with sister Molly, who is clearly relishing the affection:
Hard to believe both girls are completely blind, isn’t it?
