I was over at Widget's House this evening feeding the dogs when it dawned on me that I hadn't blogged yet. Somehow I completely forgot. I usually post something on Sunday afternoon for the "Monday blog," but instead I had spent the afternoon doing accounting -- and that shows you what accounting can do to your brain. In any case, I remembered I had some photos of the blind Poodle sisters I took last week, when they were sunning themselves on the porch at Widget's House.
We had recently taken them to the groomers, so they were looking much more like they belonged walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City than sniffing around sagebrush on a ranch in Montana. That's Priscilla on the left, and Molly on the right. The green fluff on the floor to the left and the brown fabric under Molly's cot are remnants of the West Paw beds that manage to get chewed up pretty well by this bunch.
And for the record, Widget does not live at Widget's House, as longtime blog readers probably realize. When we started raising the money to build Widget's House back in late 2003 and 2004, we had decided to name the building for Widget because she was such an inspiration and a great ambassador for disabled animals. And while she has never lived in Widget's House, she does think we should be charging rent for all those other dogs to live there, with the proceeds being used for her benefit (anything involving food).
Such adorable sun bathing beauties!! Enjoy the sun, girls!

Whoa! They're pretty glamorous for Ovando!

Tres chic! Do they like the new look? My brother's standard poodle always looks a bit embarrassed the first few days after a poodle cut - like she's got a bit more on "display" than she's comfortable with (!).

What a good picture, Fifth Avenue meets "wild" West ranch. Thank you for posting this.

What a couple of lovey ladies! They need to have Trooper sitting with them serving tea! Has any "friendship" developed between either one of them with Buddy & Jake or are they staying true to their boy, Trooper? Now, I know why Widget is winning the weight loss competition with Callie. Widget has the dogs that live in Widget's House pay up one treat a week to live there. And, with great restraint from eating it herself, she slips the treat to Callie! (of course, I bet a couple of the treats don't make it Callie's way though)

The girls are so sweet. They really do look like Southern Belles who should have whitle gloves on. Widget thinks everybody in Widget's House should kick back 50% of their meals and ALL their cookies as part of the naming rights.

Really surprise these two haven't been snapped up for adoption, but I guess it would have to be a 3-pack with Trooper.
