This is blind Ashley, who came to us as an 8-week old puppy from a shelter in California in October of 2005. You can see what she originally looked like here. When she was still a small puppy, we adopted her out to a friend and volunteer, Liz S. of Missoula.
Liz is leaving on an out-of-town trip tomorrow, so she dropped Ashley off at the ranch this afternoon to stay with us while she’s gone. When the dogs we’ve adopted out come back for temporary visits like this, we say they’re coming to "Camp Rolling Dog."
I took the photo of Alayne holding Ashley tonight around 9 p.m., as we were enjoying the summer solstice. (Okay, the truth is we were celebrating the solstice with a couple of margaritas, which we conveniently stashed out of sight behind Alayne!) We were watching the sun slowly sink behind the peaks of the Swan Range, about 30 miles northwest of us. As the sun went down, so did the margaritas.
