A few weeks ago, as we watched blind Callie groom yet another of our black or black-and-tan dogs, I told Alayne I was going to do a blog post on Callie’s single-minded focus on the black-coated dogs. We had never seen her groom any other kind of dog. And yet she’s blind, so it can’t be the color! When Callie first began offering her grooming services, it seemed like she only did the big dogs … but then we realized it wasn’t related to size … it’s just that all the big dogs she selected for grooming were the black and black-and-tan ones. We’d never see her grooming a Blanca or a Spinner, for instance.
But then, just a few days ago, we discovered Callie giving little blind-and-deaf Ellie May a good grooming here in my office. I have no idea why, after all this time, Callie suddenly decided to branch out, but she did … and I have the photo to prove it! Maybe she just felt it was getting monotonous doing only the dark dogs … or maybe she felt unappreciated … who knows? Whatever the reason, Ellie May sure enjoyed the spa session.

When we went to bed last night, it was about 30 degrees and calm. When we got up, it was 5 below zero (-20 C), the wind was blowing 15 miles an hour, and the snow was coming in sideways. Alayne took some photos first thing this morning while I was out at the barns taking care of the horses. This was the view of Widget’s House, our main dog building, taken from our front door … that’s not fog, that’s snow whipping around:
And this was the view towards Beauty’s Barn, taken a little while later after the sun had come up (well, not that we could see the sun!):
