Tyler's Christmas Outfit
 

Tyler was our resident ranch goofball, and when we adopted him out last April, my only concern was losing a lot of the "blog moments" this deaf boy specialized in giving us.  But in typical fashion, he has continued to entertain his new family in Helena, and his new Mom, Karen M., sent us this photo of him taken at Christmas.  That's Tyler on the left.

Karen wrote in her email:

"Tyler is such a funny guy.  He doesn't mind if we dress him up or things like that.  He just wants to cuddle somebody…always.  What a silly guy.

The other two dogs have adapted well to him and he loves the new baby — Jayme's beautiful daughter Evelyn.  He senses that he should stand guard by her whenever she is here and sleeps right next to whoever is holding her (what a surprise!).
 
We love our Tyler and all of his quirks.  And his quirks are many and varied from week to week.  He is definitely a part of this family and he loves loves loves to go for his evening walk.  He gets so excited that he practically jumps into my husband's arms.  He is a lovable goof. 
 
Thanks for all that you and Alayne do for all of these wonderful animals.  Without you, we wouldn't have our sweet silly boy!  Hope you all had a very wonderful and Merry Christmas and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year."

Thank you, Karen!

    Now, this is quite a picture. Tyler looks very proud & is pretty pleased with himself to be in this family picture. The lab has just about had enough & is waiting for the moment Mom removes this silly get-up. But the Schnauzer is absolutely hilarious! He looks just like Santa would look if Santa were a canine.
    I went back & read the stories of silly Tyler since I hadn’t found you all yet during his stay at RDR & didn’t get to enjoy his stories at the time. Yes, he is truly marching to his own drum. It’s so neat to hear how they are doing when they have left RDR for their forever homes. Thank you for sharing the stories with us.

    I bet it warms y’all’s hearts to see photos and hear updates on past residents of the ranch. Thank you for sharing with us. I am happy for the animals as well as you two. Look what you both made happen!!!
    I’m reminded of the saying that goes something like…
    Saving animals may not change the world but surely, the world changes for those animals.
