This weekend we had some of our wonderful volunteers come out on their regular visit, and the dogs loved every minute of it.

Mike C. spent the day walking dogs and working on obedience training. Even though our dogs have large fenced paddocks (from 1/2 acre to nearly 2 acres in size) to run around in, they still like getting out and exploring the world beyond. In this photo Mike is about to take blind Allie for a long walk. On the porch at Widget’s House waiting their turn is blind Peabody and Travis, our dog with a fused jaw.

And here is Laura B. giving blind Penny a make-over. Penny is the original love-bug, and one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever known. Laura has adopted four animals from the ranch, including old, deaf Chance and Winchester the cat. I bet Penny was thinking the whole time, "Well, what about me?"
Our volunteers not only are a big help, but they add another dimension to the care we can provide the animals here. We certainly appreciate it, and it goes without saying, so do the animals!
