Alayne took this photo of Nevada the blind puppy playing with wobbly Noodle this morning.  Nevada just loves Noodle and her sister Soba, and she plays with them all the time.  We’ve had a hard time getting video or even close-up photos of Nevada in action with the sisters, though, because whenever they realize we’re nearby, they stop playing to come over and be with us.  So Alayne took this shot from the back porch.

Noodle and Nevada were playing "king of the cot," roughhousing back and forth.  A few seconds after Alayne photographed them, Noodle tumbled backwards off the cot, leaving Nevada triumphant.

In case you’re wondering, the cottage is named after Kelly, the very first blind dog we took in here at the ranch.  She came to us from a small private shelter in Deer Lodge, Montana.  She was found up in the mountains, lost and wandering around, where she must have been dumped.  Kelly was a sweet little thing, a gentle and loving soul.  Tragically, she died of pancreatic cancer less than a year after arriving.  But we’ve never forgotten her, and the cottage helps remind us of her every day.
