Barbara Edwards, the quilt maker from Seeley Lake, Montana, asked our internal medicine specialist in Missoula, Dr. Dave Bostwick, to select the winning raffle ticket for us. Barbara's husband Scott took the photo of Barbara with Dave at his clinic in Missoula. The winner was Norma D. in Switzerland! Norma has been a long-time supporter…

This past Saturday the second and last moving van arrived, and then yesterday the last flatbed trailer load arrived. In the photo above, that's Mike R. from New York, whose final load for us included our second tractor, a dog house, tractor implements, and two pallets of stall mats. Here's a photo I took on…

Alayne and I were sitting on the deck after dinner the other evening when we heard blind Widget start woo-woo-wooing from inside the house. Sometimes she will woo-woo-woo when she wants help getting out of a chair, sometimes she will do this to demand food from us while we're eating, and sometimes she'll do…

Of course, the laundry baskets made the trip to New Hampshire too, along with everything else. We weren't about to leave any of these "beds" behind. As you can see, blind Goldie has commandeered the one in the living room, which is at the moment blocking the door to the basement behind her. These baskets…

Today I picked up the three dogs I had taken in to the Whitefield vet clinic yesterday for regularly scheduled dentals — blind Widget, blind Madison and Dexter T. Dickens. Long-time blog readers may recall that Dexter had needed emergency oral surgery in California in late 2008 before we could bring him out to the…

I know this is a pretty boring photo of one of our trucks at a gas pump. But there's a little more to it. Back in early April, when we first announced our impending move to New Hampshire, I mentioned that a major reason for relocating was to be closer to services so we could…

Apparently just the sight of a veterinarian can provide magical — and instant — healing powers. Or so little Bailey would have us believe. On Tuesday afternoon, Bailey began yiking when he moved his head in a certain direction. Over the years, we've often had these kinds of episodic neck and back issues with the…

You can sign all the documents, record the deed, pay the first property taxes, and submit the change of address forms to the Post Office … but nothing seems to make a move finally and completely "official" until you change the license plates on your vehicles. At least that's how it seems to us. I…

During last week's blistering heat wave, there was another favorite spot in the house: in front of the fans. I took this photo of blind Widget in the living room, who managed to get her nose within an inch of that fan. A day or two before, Alayne had seen Widget this close in front…

No, not that blind and deaf Gabe, this one is the blind and deaf Gabe we first mentioned on the blog in early May. This sweet older boy just arrived yesterday from Pennsylvania, where he had been fostered by longtime friends and supporters of the ranch, Barb and Jerry W. For the history on this…
