I saw blind Widget sleeping in the chair this weekend with her cone pointed up. I wondered for a minute if she was using it for tanning purposes, like some people do with mirrors to direct the sunlight in a particular direction. Then I thought maybe she was hoping that if dog cookies started miraculously…

I got this shot of blind Moose the other day when I was taking photos for our spring newsletter. Because he always hangs his big head down low — must weigh a lot, eh? — it's tough to get a photo of him with his head up. So I got down low and put the…

Well, it took us a while, and we had lots of great names to choose from, but we finally decided what to call these two adorable little dogs: Spencer and Katie, for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. They have settled into a routine here, and have figured out where everything is. In fact, when we…

After blind Helen had a terrible experience with gastrointestinal hemorrhaging last December as a side-effect of her chemotherapy, our vets decided it was time for a "chemo holiday." It was going to be only for a few weeks, but the hemorrhaging really took a lot out of Helen, and she just wasn't herself. So we…

I've been working on our spring/summer newsletter, and the very last photo I needed was the one of Alayne and me for the "ranch letter" on page 2. We always have an animal in the photo with us, and we generally pick one that will, well, cooperate! So we thought Madison would be a great…

We were eating lunch the other day when Alayne looked over and saw blind-and-deaf Spinner sleeping in an entirely new position — head down and off the chair. Daisy was below her on the cot, apparently unaware of … or at least unconcerned about … Spinner's seemingly precarious position right behind and above her. I…

After seeing some of the blog photos of our dogs having wrapped themselves completely inside blankets, Julie S. in Olympia, Washington, emailed us this photo of Charlie, our once-blind Beagle that Julie and her husband had adopted from us last fall. Julie wrote, "He got in the blanket that way himself. It was NOT staged!" …

I got this photo of little Bailey this past weekend, soaking up the sun along the front wall of our house, which faces south. We have a big, wide gravel pad there in front of the house we call "the beach," and you can see how the sun has begun melting the snow, exposing more…

Last week when I took Widget in for her eye surgery, I also had our new arrival Timmy along for his initial exam with our vet, Dr. Brenda Culver. It was clear when he first came that his front leg was a problem for him — he can't move it, and it hangs off of…

This post is probably going to get me in big trouble. But let's take a brief break from animals and discuss a subject that is always entertaining if occasionally dangerous to bring up: gender differences. Now, before anyone suggests when reading this post that I might be sexist, please know that I truly believe the…
