Here are some photos I got over the weekend of blind Molly and her wonderfully soft and fluffy "ear muffs." At first I was just trying to take some stand-off photos of the "whole dog," but she kept following me everywhere and walking right up to me, so all I ended up with were close-ups. And those amazing ear muffs are a distinguishing feature!
This is the all-important side view with the slightly wind-blown look:
(That's blind Samantha appearing to come out of Molly's hind-quarters.)
This is the "electrified" look, as if she just stepped on a live wire and the volts have nowhere to go except her ears:
And finally, the view from down below, taken on the porch of Widget's House:
Oh, wait, one more .. but this is more tongue than ears:
I had been trying to hold her back so I could get a very close straight-on shot from her nose to show you how narrow her face is -- thin like a pencil! -- but every time I'd put my hand up to position her head for the photo and keep her from advancing too close, out would come the tongue and she'd start licking my hand. So I didn't get the shot I wanted, but look at that pink tongue!
Bella !!! She is beautiful.. I want to give her a hug and kiss
She is Americas Next Top Model

You want to see a thin snoze? I should send you a Tobias pic! It looks like a seat on a 10 speed bike! Gotta love her earmuffs!
Warm hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

You really love each and every one of the animals that is or ever has been at the ranch, don't you??

I know you guys always have a terrific amount of work to be done but it sure looks like you have a lot of fun too. Sometimes, I'm pea green with envy. But not in the middle of winter!

Ha, ha. So cute! You should have called her Princess Leia instead of Molly :-)

What a pretty gal. Standard poodles are so smart and loving. Those ear muffs are something to be reckoned with!
