I took this photo of blind Molly at the front door a couple of days ago. The screen was recently peeled back by Holly, one of our two non-disabled dogs who was just a bit impatient (apparently!) about waiting for us to come and let her in. Or maybe she knew we were just about to replace the screen with the glass storm door anyway and decided to help expedite the project.
In any case, Molly had walked up to the front door and wanted to come in, but she wasn't sure if she should come through the (unauthorized) opening on her own, or patiently — Holly, please note the example — wait for us to open it for her (otherwise known as "authorized entry"). Molly knew we were inside, so she just kept cocking her head back and forth, as if to say, "Can't you see me here?" … followed by … "You know, I could just come through this hole in the screen…."
Well, after taking the photo, I opened the door, praised her for being the nice, patient un-Holly, and let her in.
Yes, I know there have been a lot of Poodle blogs recently, but when you have an every-other-day blog to do, you have to work with whatever material you have on hand!
