One of the ASPCA's media relations people was kind enough to email me late today this photo of Alayne at the event in New York with the award. Alayne said the luncheon was very nice and everything went well. Prior to presenting the award, the ASPCA showed a video they had produced about the ranch,…

There's a wonderful story on the ranch and the ASPCA's Henry Bergh Award in USA Today's Pet Talk column today. It's a beautifully written piece by Sharon Peters, who first wrote about us for USA Today in 2007. The headline is: Pair's wonderful way with disabled animals is rewarded. You can read the story here.

It's that time of year again — getting the compost spread on the pastures. We try to wait as late as possible in the fall, after we've moved animals out of the pastures but before the first heavy snow arrives. And once or twice, we've been surprised by an earlier-than-usual 'season-ender' snowfall, forcing us to…

I drove back to our vet clinic in Helena today to pick up some animals we'd left there last week, as well as to take blind Helen for her latest chemotherapy treatment. One of the dogs who came home was blind Samantha, who'd been to the clinic for a dental and to have a growth…

It's understandable if you don't recognize this as blind Gabe, and no, he's not undergoing sensory deprivation either! He has had a rough go of it since coming home from three weeks of radiation therapy for his nasal tumor at WSU. The side-effects of the radiation caused the skin around his eyes and the top…

Well, I had tried really hard not to get my hopes up over this, but after we saw blind Madison's pupils respond to light during her eye exam last week, it was impossible not to keep thinking about what it would mean to give Madison the gift of sight, too. So I was kind of…

Barely a month after his eye surgery to restore his vision, Charlie the once-blind Beagle from Georgia has now been adopted! Julie and Richard S. from Olympia, Washington, were looking for a friend for their Beagle Hugo. They had lost their other Beagle, Sampson, about a year ago to cancer, and wanted to find another…

Blind Rosie is on strict stall rest for four weeks as part of her colic surgery recovery, and the only exercise she is allowed right now is a closely supervised walk. The way we worked that into the schedule is to take her with us to get the mail every day. Lena's Barn, where her…

When our primary care vet, Dr. Brenda Culver, was here last Monday to do the annual exams and vaccinations on everyone, she detected a heart murmur in Widget and recommended we get an echocardiogram done. So when I went to Missoula last Friday to pick up blind Rosie from her colic surgery hospitalization, I took…

As you can probably imagine, we are always doing laundry around here. On any given day we do about five to seven loads, most of it the dog and cat bedding. That means there's always a stack or two (or three) of freshly laundered bedding, neatly folded and waiting to go back to one of…
