Blind-and-deaf Spinner has decided she really likes the IKEA lounge chairs in the living room, and that's become her favorite spot for napping. Daisy, on the other hand, long ago claimed those chairs as her own, and she always bares her teeth and growls at any dog that happens to even approach the chair she's in. Now, the truth is that Daisy recognizes she's an 8-pound miniature Dachshund and she isn't about to get into a fight with anyone, but her bared fangs and fierce growls always work to keep the other dogs from climbing up on "her" chair. Unless, as with Spinner, they can't see the fangs or hear the growls, in which case the display of feigned aggression counts for … absolutely nothing.
So Spinner, completely unaware that the last thing Daisy wants to do is share her chair with another dog … let alone a large dog … happily climbed up and settled in for an afternoon nap. Daisy, a bit sheepish that all her Doxie ferocity didn't deter Spinner for one second, quietly and meekly moved over to make way. And that's when I took this photo.

Still No. 1 — But That Iowa Group Is Moving Up Fast!
Please keep voting for the ranch every
day in The Animal Rescue
Site/PetFinder's Shelter Challenge. Thanks
to your votes, we came in third nationwide and won $3,000 for the
animals in the previous contest earlier this year. Now we have a shot at No. 1 and the
$20,000 grand prize in the current contest! Enter
"Rolling Dog Ranch" and our state postal code, MT for Montana,
and it will bring up our listing so you can cast your vote. Please ask
your family and friends to vote, too.
You can see how fast the rankings can change, so we really need an
extra push in the last three weeks of the contest to hold that No. 1
spot. It ends on December 20th, so we're in the home stretch — and $20,000 for the animals is in sight! Thank you!
