Molly_at_widgets_house_2

I was taking photos for our fall print newsletter the other evening over at Widget’s House when I got these shots of Molly the blind Poodle.  Molly and her sister blind Priscilla are going to be our "cover models" on this next issue.  Actually, there will be three models in the cover photo, since I have Alayne in the center, holding both girls.  (Um, trying to get two dogs to sit perfectly still and looking at the camera at the same time … when neither one can see … is, shall we say, a real challenge.)

Molly is one happy girl, always smiling like this.  Priscilla is more reserved and shy around people.  Priscilla really comes alive when playing with the other dogs, especially her boyfriend Trooper.  (It turns out, though, that in the past month Molly has made it official — she’s dating that no-good hound dog, too.)

Molly has this little fluffy bob on the end of her tail, and she gets so excited whenever she sees us that her tail-bob (bobtail?) starts whirling around in a circle.  You can kind of see it in motion in this photo:

    Molly is so cute, so is her sis. I have a miniture poodle named Andy and he does the same thing with his tail. Looks like a helicopter rotor. I keep telling him some day he’s going to take off. Is this a poodle thing?
    Missed the blogs last week. Hope you had a good time off but glad you’re back. Looking forward to the fall newletter. Tell Charlie and Smokey I said HI. How are those rascals doing?? Bless all of you at RDR.

    I just love poodles. I grew up with one as a child & he was the best dog. I know what you mean about the whirling tail. Molly is quite a beautiful model. Well, it’s nice the girls are sharing Trooper & there is no jealous involved. What a lucky guy Tropper is though! Sisters, wow!!!

    Don’t you mean “hears/smells” us vs “sees” us. Had to put that in. Ranch poodles in Montana who would have thought?

    To remember how Molly and Priscilla looked before they came to RDR is unthinkable! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping these two girls flourish.
    Anymore updates on Carmel, Mitch, Shep, Dusty and Kasha?

    Looking at Molly’s smiling face, I can hear Stevie Wonder sing “Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she wonderful, isn’t she precious…”:-)

    Who would ever have guessed that these two “city gals” would adapt so completely and happily to “farm life”?? What a lovely tale.

    Here’s a great story for some extreme makeover TV show. What dolls! I recall that the girls needed housebreaking training. I hope that’s going well.
