On Saturday morning, as we were taking horses out to pasture, we found blind Rosie could barely walk. She looked so painful we suspected she was beginning to founder, a terrible and often life-threatening condition in which the coffin bone in the hoof rotates downwards. Rosie has always had foot problems; she has very thin…

Alayne took this photo of me bringing out the very last item from the moving van that arrived on Friday. This was the snowplow, which was strapped onto a pallet that I'm lifting with the pallet forks on the tractor's front loader. I wish I had thought about taking a "before" photo, but when the…

One of the reasons we were attracted to New Hampshire was because of the green, lush climate. But even so, I've been surprised at how often my Davis wireless weather station registers humidity readings in the high 90s … frequently at 99%, or like this morning when I took this photo, at 98%. And it…

Yes, she finally made it! I took this photo of Alayne arriving here yesterday evening. It had been a month since I'd last seen her! The truck and horse trailer are stuffed with all the last things to leave — household goods, dog stuff, and speaking of dogs, five dogs. No rest for the weary,…

I took this photo of blind Austin the other evening in one of the dog yards. Even before we moved in, there had been a rather sizable hole in the ground where this particular yard is located. Oddly, no one seemed to pay it any attention, and I never saw any dog actually in it. …

Our longtime and wonderful volunteer from Helena, Laura W., just emailed me a link to this YouTube video of Timmy and Levi, the two disabled dogs she adopted from us, playing together. Timmy is the one whose front leg we recently amputated, and Levi is blind. There's always something especially heartwarming watching two disabled animals…

When Alayne and I were looking at properties over the winter, our main focus was on how suitable the buildings would be for the animals. There was no "perfect" place with just the right set of facilities for a sanctuary like ours, and given the disabilities our animals have, we could never had expected to…

If the big fir in the front yard is a favorite place to hang out when the weather is nice, the porch is where the action is for rainy days. In the photo starting at the top, that's blind Helen at the far end, blind Penny, blind Priscilla, her sister Molly, then Bailey and blind…

There's a favorite spot in the front yard, and it's under a big fir tree that casts a wonderful shadow on warm, sunny days. That's blind Molly and Priscilla under the tree in the photo above. Here's an earlier shot I took of blind Goldie enjoying the tree … she's the tiny gold speck right…

I was scooping the dog yards this morning when I looked over and saw blind and deaf Spencer using his sister Katie as a pillow. They were both soaking up the sun, snoozing soundly. I've been trying to get a photo of them sleeping for a while, because they always use each other as pillows. …
