Joined At The Hip

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:

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!

Still 2nd place as of Tuesday!

Sisters are the best! Always there for you!

I love this picture. I just want to get down in that grass & lay w/ them!

Thanks for the update on Ella! I'm so glad she has arrived at her new home safe & sound! Can't wait for new pics w/ the family!

And, I appreciate the blogging that you do.

Isn't synchronized napping an Olympic event?

The girls look like thay have a Ying and Yang thing going on :)
Wish I could curl up in beautiful grass like that!

So glad to hear that Ella is safe and sound in her new home!

Geesh... If you blogged everyday I would have a reason to vote everyday. Love the cuddle sisters.
How are Margaret and the horses
adjusting to the new barn?

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

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.

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

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.

Sisters
Sisters
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!

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.

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!

Hooray for Ella! Safe and sound.
