On Saturday morning as our volunteers began arriving, I looked out the window and saw the dogs some were bringing with them — all former residents of the ranch. I said, "Hey, before you get covered in dog slobber, cat hair and horse manure, let’s get a photo of all of you with your dogs!"
So here are three of our awesome volunteers — long-time regulars — with the dogs they adopted after falling in love with them while volunteering. That’s Kate W. on the left with blind Luke, who the Missoula Humane Society had asked us to take a few years ago. Kate and Luke live in Missoula. In the center is Kate’s mom, Laura B., with wobbly Rudy. He had come to us from a rescue group in Utah, and had been here only about two weeks before Laura scooped him up and took him home to Helena. That’s why Rudy never got a page of his own on our Web site — he wasn’t here long enough! And on the right is Laura W. with blind Levi, who had come to us from a rescue group in Washington state. Laura and Levi live in Helena.
Kate and Laura cleaned the cat house and dog cottages in the morning and walked dogs in the afternoon. Laura W. spent most of the day on the tractor, turning our giant compost windrows. She took a break from the tractor work to also help us when we took visitors out to meet some of our blind horses.
While their Moms work hard all day here, the dogs … well, they don’t do a dang thing.
