…there's only one place to be this weekend — in front of the wood stove. Here are blind-and-deaf Spinner and blind Callie enjoying the fire on a bitterly cold night:
Note that for today, the National Weather Service office in Missoula said we should expect a high of 2°(-16°C) with east winds between 25 and 28 mph and gusts as high as 41 mph (66 kph) … conditions they helpfully called "breezy." Excuse me … "breezy"? (Click on screenshot for larger image.) The worst is coming on Monday night, when it's going to be 30° below zero (-34°C) with a steady wind of 11 mph and gusts up to 20 mph (32 kph). That translates into a wind chill value of -47°(-44°C). Egads. I guess we could call that "brisk."

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 two 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!

Nice Boost From Montana Newspapers: We had some great help this weekend from local Montana papers getting the word out about the Shelter Challenge. The Helena Independent Record published a story on Saturday about the contest and then the Missoulian ran the same piece today. You can read the story here.
