In recent days we noticed that blind Austin, our little Beagle, has found a new friend to roughhouse with — three-legged Ella. Most evenings after dinner, if the weather is nice, they wrestle with each other on "the beach" by the front of our house. I had to sneak quietly around the corner of the house to get these photos, because usually they'll stop playing if they think someone is approaching. I managed to get the shot above and this next one…
… before they heard the click of the shutter and stopped to see who was there:
If you were trying to handicap (pun intended) the outcome of the wrestling match, would you bet the smaller one who is blind but has four legs can get the better of the larger dog who can see but has three legs … or the other way around? In fact, they seem pretty evenly matched … and sure enjoy it!
