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 Gabe, please check out that previous post.
Barb and Jerry had been kind enough to not only foster Gabe for us for several weeks, but they took him to the vet multiple times, including a veterinary ophthalmologist, and paid all those medical bills, too. All we had to do was arrange with Gale Lang of TLC Pet Transport, who brought all the dogs and cats out in late May, to pick him up for us.
Gabe has settled right in, adding yet another set of paws to what once was — however briefly — "the people wing" of this house and is quickly becoming "the dog wing annex." Yesterday he spent the afternoon just wandering around the living room and kitchen, exploring the front porch and yard, and generally getting his bearings. It was simply amazing to see how fast he figured out where the ramp up to the front porch was. Yesterday evening, as I was writing the blog post on the hay, Gabe was lying by my feet underneath the desk. Last night, as we were dishing out dinner into food bowls, he got so excited he let out a little yip bark in the living room — just like the other blind and deaf Gabe used to do! He seems to have taken the move in stride.
Thanks to Barb and Jerry for all their wonderful help with Gabe. He's one lucky boy because of them!
