It really is deep — we have more than a foot of snow "on the level," as they say, and a lot more where it's drifted — but for a 5-inch high Dachshund, it must seem really, really deep!  This is our intrepid explorer Bailey, who always insists on going outside … although in wintertime his adventures usually last but a minute before he's barking to be let inside.  And when it's sub-zero, they last just a few seconds — he skitters out the door, realizes how insanely cold it is, and turns around and heads right back in.  We know he's going to do this when it's that cold, so we just stand there with the door open, waiting for him to execute his 180° turn and zoom in again.  We warmed up to about 20° (-6° C) today, and that was enough for Bailey to head to the back gate before turning around.  Alayne got this shot this afternoon of him coming back up the path we dug out to the gate.

Only Four Days Left — Still No. 1 — But That Iowa Group Has Moved 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 week 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!
