I got these photos a while back and forgot I had them on the computer … but here is blind-and-deaf Spinner working her way into her favorite chair. Because she is blind and deaf, and because these chairs are also the favorite of some previously identified snapping Dachshunds (a.k.a. Daisy), she begins the process quite carefully. By the time I grabbed the camera and started taking photos, I missed capturing phase 1 of the process: she stands right in front of the chair, sniffing to see if anyone is in it.
Then she inches closer, sniffs some more, and then puts her front feet in the chair. At that point she waits a little longer, sniffing left and right:
Finally satisfied that the chair is hers to claim, she starts climbing up:
It takes a moment of circling and smoothing things out to get it just right:
And then it's time for a nap:
Notice that the entire time, the sleeping Dachshund in the other chair, blind Callie, didn't stir.
