The routine first thing every morning, after we let the dogs out, is to scoop the poop in the various dog yards. Almost all the dogs at Widget's House go trotting out immediately to "do their business," before heading back to the building to settle in for a nap on the cots and beds on…

She may be blind, she may have lost a leg to one form of cancer, and she may be battling yet another type of cancer, but a rolling Helen is a happy Helen. I looked out my office window this morning and saw her rolling and rolling in the grass. She kept at is so…

This is beautiful Ella … or Bella Ella as I've started calling her … doing what she does every meal time. Alayne got this photo yesterday evening while I was in the dining room filling the dog bowls with food. We have a doggie gate that separates the dining room and kitchen from the living…

The Animal Rescue Site just posted the official results of the latest Shelter Challenge and we came in fourth nationwide, just behind Best Friends, winning a $3,000 grant for the animals at the ranch! The announcement says more than 12,000 animal rescue groups participated. Wow. Thank you to everyone who kept voting, day after day,…

As I write this, about 2:30 p.m., it's a freakishly warm 76 degrees here. I was watching blind Mitch, wearing his heavy Husky coat, and bet he was wishing he'd already had his summer haircut! He has the thickest coat I've ever seen on a dog, and we've taken to getting him clipped — what…

Madison and I got back to the ranch about 4 p.m. today after a very long road trip. We left Spearfish, South Dakota, this morning about 7 a.m. Somehow the last leg is always the longest, you know? Alayne's been here by herself for 10 days, which is double the workload when one of us…

Well, look who's discovered the ever-popular laundry basket bed now … blind and deaf Gabe. Alayne got this photo a couple of days ago and emailed it to me. This was the first time we've seen Gabe use the laundry basket, and you can appreciate how he really had to fold himself up to fit…

I took these photos on Sunday of blind Madison rolling in the grass at the new sanctuary property in New Hampshire. Yes, I brought the old girl along for company on the trip back East, and she's been a wonderful companion. This next part I am not making up: We had spent Friday night in…

Well, the original lovebug himself, blind Herbie, was adopted yesterday! Angela N. flew all the way from Michigan to pick up our-favorite-cat-ever. She had been looking for another cat for awhile, and had been thinking about a special needs one, when she came across our Web site. But the clincher was seeing Herbie in the…

When our wonderful, long-time volunteer Laura W. brought Timmy back from the vet hospital for us last weekend and let him out of the car, I watched in amazement as he zoomed off to check things out. I turned to Laura and said, "Wow — what a difference!" I could immediately see how much easier…
