Today I drove blind Brynn back to Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine for yet another hospital visit.  We needed to bring her back for a repeat echocardiogram on her heart, to see if there are any other changes since we treated her for a heart infection in mid-May, when she was last here. …

Here’s little Bailey, who is always one of the last dogs to stir in the morning, and usually not before 10 a.m.  You can see the look I was getting when I took this photo mid-morning.  Not only does he like to sleep in, but because he’s incontinent — he dribbles and leaks when he’s…

I was out taking photos this afternoon of our blind foal Cash for his new Web page (not up yet) and was struck by what a big boy he looks like now.  The photo above shows the little tyke when he arrived back in early March at the age of 4 weeks.  He was impossibly…

I went into the cat house yesterday evening to feed the cats when this scene presented itself.  Those are two of our wobbly kitties, Claire and Wobbles, squashed together inside that kitty condo.  Now, that is definitely a condo unit built for one, and it sure can’t be comfortable in there.  Claire (on the left)…

Just three weeks after one of our volunteers from Missoula, Kate W., adopted blind Luke, we have another wonderful adoption to report.  One of our volunteers, Katie R. from Helena, adopted blind Willie today!  Katie had been planning on adopting Willie for a few weeks, but was waiting until she got married — just two…

This is Patch, now known as Skipper, the little Schipperke with a rare auto-immune skin disease who came to us several weeks ago from a shelter in California.  We renamed him Skipper in honor of his Schipperke heritage, because this breed was used as watchdogs on boats and barges in the Netherlands and Belgium.  ("Schipperke"…

I was heading from the kitchen back to my office the other evening when I looked over and saw this Dachshund line-up in the living room.  That’s new arrival Belvie by the wall, then little Daisy on the cot in the middle, and Bailey in the foreground.  Bailey is sleeping on his friend and occasional…

Here’s another "outtake" from the newsletter photo shoot with Soba and Noodle.  I should have used this shot yesterday instead of the two sisters wrestling (see post below), because this happened before the girls got off their cots to roughhouse with each other.  Nevada the blind puppy seems to always keep popping up in our…

We were taking photos a couple of days ago for our summer newsletter of Noodle and Soba, who are going to be our "cover models" on this next issue.  After getting these two very wobbly, high-energy girls to lie quietly on their cots for the photo shoot (no small task, mind you), they decided they’d…

I took this photo of our newest arrival, Kasha, and Alayne this afternoon.  Kasha arrived late Thursday night.  Alison James, our new development director, was planning to head to Spokane last week on personal business, and kindly offered to pick up Kasha and bring her out to the ranch for us.  (Alison starts her new…
