Today was "run around town" day in Missoula — among other stops, a press check on the fall newsletter at the printer, taking Molly and Priscilla to the groomers, and the thing that's been weighing on us … having blind Goldie checked for a new set of skin growths. Goldie has already had a couple…

Teddy is finally home again, after a week in the hospital where he managed to baffle all of us with a quick rebound and no apparent explanation for what sent him back to our vets in the first place last Sunday. Long-time friends of the ranch, Janet and Hal H. from Helena, were kind enough…

When I was at WSU yesterday, Dr. Fidel asked me how blind Callie was doing after her brain tumor radiation treatment back in April. I told her it had been a long slog, and for a few months we began to wonder if the old Callie was ever going to come back. She was pretty…

Gabe had his MRI this morning at the WSU veterinary teaching hospital, and I took the photo of our oncologist, Dr. Janean Fidel, showing me the images. His tumor is very large and fills the entire right side of his nasal passage. Here's a close-up of the image, which is reversed, so you really are…

You know you've been coming to a veterinary teaching hospital a lot when you walk up to the front desk and they hand you your file and sign-in sheets before you've even said who you are. Yes, they recognize me by sight now. Uh oh. I took the photo of our oncologist, Dr. Janean Fidel,…

Well, just a few hours after posting the blog yesterday about Teddy settling in, I was rushing him over to our vet clinic in Helena last night. During his first stay in the hospital a few weeks ago, Teddy had begun breathing heavily, but our vets could find no explanation for it — the lab…

I got this shot the other day of Teddy with Dexter and Bailey, all sharing a dog bed in the kitchen. It wasn't feeding time … they had just found a comfy spot to hang out. Teddy has very much settled in — he's got his routine down and is quick to let us know…

We discovered our new arrival, blind Gabe, has his own peculiar drinking style. While blind Samantha likes to put both feet in the water bucket, Gabe for some reason likes to drink with just one foot in the water dish. And he's very particular about this, mind you, because he will only put his left…

I saw blind Callie sitting in front of the TV yesterday morning, as if she were waiting for someone to turn it on for her — or to show her how to use the remote, I guess. Usually we have CNN or CNBC on during the day (muted), though we know she prefers the Food…
