I was taking photos recently for both our winter newsletter and accompanying Web site updates when I got this shot of blind Patti with her boyfriend blind Buddy. I just loved Patti's earnest expression in that photo. As I think I mentioned quite a while ago, we had to move blind Cedar out from the…

Yes, indeed, blind Helen's chemotherapy has been going very well. So much so, in fact, that the latest radiographs we took revealed that the tumor in her lungs has significantly reduced in size. This is not a "cure," but it is buying her time — and for that we are very grateful. So far Helen…

This is blind Mitch, a handsome Husky who came to us a year ago. You haven't heard much about him since then because, to be quite honest, for a while there we weren't sure what we were going to do with him. He arrived with an alpha personality and a dominant "don't mess with me"…

I've posted before about Bailey's odd sleeping habits, whether it's snoozing with his mouth resting on a toy, or only having part of his body covered … and sometimes only his face. The other afternoon I saw him in the kitchen looking like this, and wondered once more: why? Has he heard the line about…

I had forgotten that Alayne had taken this photo of blind Austin and not-blind Charlie acting like Japanese sumo wrestlers the day before Charlie was adopted. It shows you that tough little Austin was not about to let the bigger, and now seeing, Charlie, push him out of the ring without a real fight! That's…

I know, this is another impossibly cute Dachshund photo. But the point of this post is not to showcase another impossibly cute Dachshund, but rather to highlight his expensive and fancy bed. Yes, a $5.99 plastic laundry basket. We discovered a while ago that the new favorite sleeping spot in the house was a laundry…

Jack Hanna's Into The Wild show featuring the ranch will air beginning this Friday, November 6. Depending on where you are, the program may air on Saturday or Sunday, rather than Friday, and at different times on different networks. To find out the exact schedule, please check the Into The Wild Web site here. It…

Here's our latest installment of scenes from "Rainbow Flat." Alayne got this shot the other evening of another beautiful rainbow spanning the animal cottages next to our house. We'd just had a rainstorm move through, going from west to east, and it was still shrouding the mountain range to the east of us behind those…

This is blind Gabe, who is very happy finally to be completely finished with the side-effects from his radiation treatment — and best of all, he is cone-free now! You can see the hair loss on his face from the radiation field. I had emailed a photo of Gabe's face several days ago to his…

I've posted about this once before, quite a while ago: blind Goldie's habit of patiently waiting outside for one of us to come home. It doesn't matter whether it's Alayne or me who's away from the ranch — she knows her "pack" isn't complete if one of us is missing, and she wants to stay…
