Month: January 2010

  • I got this shot on Saturday, when I looked over from the dining table and saw Daisy staring at us with this earnest expression … possibly bordering on dismay.  She was in the living room and we were safely in the dining room, behind the "Barbarian's Gate" we put up last year to allow ourselves…

  • I noticed our two radiation therapy patients, blind Callie and blind Gabe, lying on a cot together yesterday evening in the living room.  As soon as I started taking photos, Callie sprang to life and gave me this funny nose-up-ears-out look.  (Gabe's ears, on the other hand, are always up-and-out.)  Both Callie and Gabe had…

  • Alayne got this shot of a frosty blind Lena this morning having breakfast.  I probably should have titled this post, "Leave Me Alone — I'm Eating," because that's kind of the expression she has on her face.  (That's blind Nikki next to Lena.)  The past few days we've had an ice fog that coats everything…

  • I walked into the cat house this morning to clean litter boxes and found this composition waiting for me.  That's one-eyed Lulu on the left, three-legged Molly in the middle, and wobbly Mink on the right.  This is a variation on the sardine theme I've posted about before.  As usual, blind Herbie wasn't interested in…

  • I got this shot over the weekend of Bailey using his friend Dexter as a pillow.  They were on a bed in the kitchen and the sun had just started coming through the living room windows, and the yummy warmth was causing Bailey to become drowsy.  You can see how his eyes are beginning to…

  • I was putting the dogs back inside Widget's House today after their morning romp when I noticed blind Molly had a small iceball hanging off her chin.  Even though she kept walking and prancing around the floor, it stayed right there on her chin … and she seemed oblivious to it.  Now, she and her…

  • Back in November I wrote a post about how a very inexpensive laundry basket, stuffed with fleece bedding, had suddenly become the place to sleep in the house … so much so that we went out and bought some extra baskets, just so we could have our original laundry basket back for its intended purpose. …

  • It was 0° (-18° C) this morning when I let the dogs out of Widget's House, and I took this photo shortly thereafter.  The sun was finally coming up over the ridge to the east of us and beginning to light up Ovando Mountain behind us.  At this point, we're all just waiting for the…

  • While we're still kinda sorta in the Christmas spirit of things, I thought I'd share a photo that one of our awesome volunteers, Laura B. of Helena, emailed me over the holidays.  This is Rudy, a little wobbler who came to us way back in 2006 from a Utah rescue group.  Rudy was here for…

  • Happy New Year, everyone! The day after Christmas, Richard and Julie S. from Olympia, Washington, emailed us these photos of Charlie, our once-blind Beagle they recently adopted.  It looks almost as if Charlie is dreaming that all those presents under the tree are for him.  Richard wrote in the email, "We now have opened a…
