The horses are now on their way, too! Bob Hubbard Horse Transportation arrived at the ranch early on Sunday morning with one of their giant horse vans. These are so big they offer a variety of stall configurations, so the ones who need extra room get it, and the ones who need to be stabled…

At midnight last night, Gale's caravan of Rolling Dog Ranch animals arrived … all safe and sound. By the time we got everyone unloaded, let them wander around in the dog yards for a potty break, and then put them up for the night, it was close to 2 a.m. before I finally got to…

The dogs and cats are on the way to New Hampshire! Alayne got these photos of the caravan leaving Widget's House on Sunday, and they should be arriving tomorrow. (Yes, the gates are all hung!) The gang is being transported by Gale Lang and her team at TLC Pet Transport from Crittenden, Kentucky. I talked…

The latest phase of the move to New Hampshire is underway. I arrived Friday evening, with a loaded pick-up truck and trailer. I brought out seven dogs as the advance contingent — Widget, Goldie, Bailey, Dexter, Daisy, Travis and Patti. Most of the rest are being picked up today back at the ranch in Montana,…

This is right up there with the most heartwarming happy endings we've ever had — and we've had a lot over the years. Actually, other than Charlie, the blind Beagle whose vision we restored through surgery and then adopted out last year, it has to be the most heartwarming happy ending for us. Blind and…

The good news keeps on coming! Last Saturday our long-time volunteer Laura W., who had adopted blind Levi from us a few years ago, asked if she could adopt Timmy as well. Since we are just one week away from shipping the animals to New Hampshire, this was what you might call a "just-in-time adoption"…

Alayne drove into Missoula on Thursday to pick up our blind Quarter Horse, Cash, who has been with horse trainer Will Balis for the past few months. Since Alayne is the rider in the family, not me, she also needed to learn from Will how he had trained Cash so she would know what cues…

In recent days we noticed that blind Austin, our little Beagle, has found a new friend to roughhouse with — three-legged Ella. Most evenings after dinner, if the weather is nice, they wrestle with each other on "the beach" by the front of our house. I had to sneak quietly around the corner of the…

Chennell B., who adopted Twist from us last July, just sent us some photos and an update on this boy. Chennell's family has a ranch in eastern Montana, and Twist — now renamed Twitch — has become quite the ranch Dachshund. Chennell wrote, "The little man has all of us wrapped around his little paw. He…

For the fifth year in a row, quiltmaker Barbara Edwards from Seeley Lake, Montana, has produced another stunning quilt to raffle off as a benefit for the animals here. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the ranch. Barbara and her husband Scott came by on Friday to show us her latest beautiful creation. …
