We had noticed our blind mare Lena was lying down more than normal in her corral this past week, but it was usually in early afternoon when it was warmest — and she wasn't showing signs of any other problems. So we weren't sure what to make of it. But by Saturday afternoon she was…

At a certain point in the winter, when the snow gets deep enough, the dogs typically don't go wandering off any longer (with a few exceptions, like blind Helen and Widget!) but end up sticking to the multiple narrow paths they create around the buildings. This makes it easier for their humans, too — not…

I know this looks like a Beagle who's not doing anything, but actually blind Willie (who recently came back to us) is about to wind himself up for a morning whirl. Most mornings now, as soon as Alayne lets him out of Kelly's Cottage, he goes off to pee and then comes back around the…

I posted an item last fall about blind Bo's ability to grow a giraffe-like neck when it's time for his dewormer. Well, Bo is one of those horses who doesn't stay warm easily, and that includes his rather extensive neck. (It doesn't look as long in this photo because he's turned his head towards us.) …

Yes, this is a bit of a problem. That's the cat house roof with a thick, heavy sheet of snow and ice slowly sliding off and coming down on the cats' outdoor enclosure — and in the process, it's taking down the fencing material we had stretched across the top to keep The Resident Escape…

It turns out that blind Dusty isn't the only dog who likes to eat snow first thing in the morning. Alayne noticed that wobbly blind Briggs likes to do the same thing when there's fresh snow on the ground. She'll let him out of the cottage in the morning and he'll wobble off to go…

This is blind and three-legged Helen, who ventured off yesterday morning in the yard and got stuck in snow that was too deep for her. This has never been a problem for her in the past, but she's really getting up there in age now and she's developed hip dysplasia in her remaining rear leg…

Our first-thing-in-the-morning chore every day is scooping the poop in the dog yards after we let the bossy little dears out to do their business. We used to put the, um, "material" in trash cans and then haul it once a week to the compost yard in the Kubota utility vehicle. With the snow and…

The other evening I heard all this rolling back and forth outside my office door, and turned around at my desk to see blind and wobbly Briggs just having the time of his life. He had woken from a nap and felt so good he just wanted to roll around on his back … and…

I saw blind Cash goofing around this afternoon, sticking his head through the corral panels in various ways. When I came back with the camera, he apparently decided he didn't want to look goofy for the blog but young and handsome instead. So this was the shot I got. That's blind Hawk on the left,…
