Molly and Pris side by side 1

One of the funny things about the blind Poodle sisters is how they nap when they're outside: almost always joined at the hip in some fashion.  And if not the hip, then the shoulder, neck, or back.  Joined in one way or another.  I've been meaning to build a portfolio of these various positions, but for now, here are just two photos showing what I mean.  The one above I took this morning in the front yard. 

Here's one I took a few weeks ago, before they went to the groomers:

Molly and Pris side by side 2

I keep waiting for the day when they are lined up perfectly symmetrical, like two bookends. 

Update on Ella:  She arrived safe and sound on Sunday evening.  Jennifer called as soon as she got there.  More on her in a subsequent post, but suffice to say Ella has settled in and Jennifer said she was wagging her tail when she saw Gabe that evening!

    The grass looks so lovely and lush, and the girls look so soft and cuddly, I just want to lay down with them and snuggle up!

    I see an alphabet–an i, an r–lookout Sesame Street! Molly and Priscilla are on to something….reminding us how wonderful a “nap” at “rdr” or anywhere, can be.

    There were never such devoted sisters
    Never had to have a chaperone “No, sir”
    I’m there to keep my eye on her
    Caring
    Sharing
    Every little thing that we are wearing
    All kinds of weather
    We stick together
    The same in the rain or sun
    Two diff’rent faces
    But in tight places
    We think and we act as one
    Those who’ve
    Seen us
    Know that not a thing could come between us
    Many hounds have tried to split us up but no one can
    Lord help the mister
    Who comes between me and my sister
    And Lord help the sister
    Who comes between me and my hound!

    Love those photos of the sisters. My last Jack Russell HAD to be in the bed, touching all of us – two humans and his basset “brother” during a thunderstorm. It was funny to watch up play Twister to make it happen.

    Thank you Steve for the update on Ella. I was wondering if she had gotten there yet, so glad to hear she recognized Gabe. Hey, Jennifer, will you give them both hugs for me? Thanks. Anne

    These two girls are just a couple of sweethearts. I went back and read the story of their rescue by Mary S. I hope she sees these new pictures.
    Also looking forward to seeing the pictures of Ella and Gabe. Sounds like another match made in Heaven.

    They remind me of the song, “Close to you”. It would be interesting to keep a folio of all the different positions that they continue to touch even as they nap. I’m so glad they have each other.
    Thanks for the update on Ella. I wonder if Gabe wonders if all the others from RDR are going to join him?
    Big hugs all around,
    ginger, Tobias & Tlingit
