Cindy got this shot of some of the dogs at Widget's House waiting for her to take them inside for dinner. They have this uncanny sense of timing, and pretty much know when she's due to show up at that gate. From the left is old Miss Samantha, then the Poodle sisters Priscilla and Molly, then Jake, then that two-timing hound dog from Louisiana, Trooper, and finally the big girl, Blanca. Except Trooper, all are blind, while Blanca is blind-and-deaf. However, none of their disabilities keep them from a) knowing how to tell time and b) knowing where the gate is that Cindy comes through every evening on her way to Widget's House.

I think it is amazing how animals know when it’s time to eat & when it’s time for us to be arriving home. My cat is always sitting in the window when I pull into the driveway. Then by the time I make it to the door he is there & so close to it I have to be careful when I open it so I don’t bump his nose. Having had animals all my life I could tell a ton of stories of timing. The most memorable was our poodle after my Dad died. It took almost 2 years for our poodle to stop sitting at the door every evening @ 5:45pm. After about 30 min he would walk away but was back again the next day, same time, same spot.

Nothing against those little dogs that hog the blog but it is really good to see a photo of some of the Widget House dogs. What a motley crew!! I just love them all to pieces.

What a great shot! Do the poodle sisters always stick together like that?! Virtual hugs to all.

The Poodle sisters are so refined looking. They should be hosting teas and reading good books not fawning over that ne’er-do-well hound dog.

I don’t know how they do it. I was visiting a friend with a blind dog, and every time someone walked by, even on the other side of the street, that dog would be right at the screen door. Not barking, just watching.
Jake looks like he’s filled out nicely! The last picture I saw of him, one could see his ribs very clearly.LikeLike
