Month: August 2010

I took this photo a couple of days ago of blind Bo and blind Rosie enjoying life on a bright green pasture. It was late afternoon, and Alayne and I were heading out to start bringing the horses in. It's still hard for us to believe how green the grass is, especially in late August. …

In what will be a family reunion of sorts, three-legged Molly is now on her way to her new home in Spokane, Washington — where she will be reunited with our own three-legged Bunny. Yes, the same wonderful folks who adopted Bunny from us two years ago this month, Tia and Karl M., asked if…

Long-time blog readers may recall a post from more than two years ago, when I pointed out how blind Widget "looms" over other dogs who just happen to be in a chair she wants. Sometimes this works — they can't stand the pressure of her sitting right there, looming over them, and they quickly surrender…

Blind Widget rolling … if a picture is worth a thousand words, here are three thousand: (Note: As for the brown spots in the grass — yes, we know about "urine neutralizer" supplements; no, we're not going to spend the money to keep nearly 40 dogs on them.)

The Dachshund ranks expanded yet again, with the arrival of blind Lucy on Friday. She came to us from Riverside Rescue in Vermont, the same local shelter that had asked if we could take Roo, the Chihuahua born without front legs. Lucy came from a puppy mill situation and was born with microphthalmia, which means…

Alayne got this shot yesterday morning through the window of our Chief Barn Cat, Smoke, sitting on a fencepost above the pond. He had walked across the rail and then parked himself on top of the post to look for any small munchables in the tall grass below. That's part of the old cedar split-rail…
-
I mentioned in the previous post how many of the dogs in the front yard have taken to "denning" under the ramps. Blind Dusty, on the other hand, picked a totally different spot for his den — the base of the big fir at the other end of the front yard. He loves this spot…

I have always disliked mowing grass. It seems such an incredible waste of time and effort, especially when grass is the perfect food for so many animals. Grass should be grazed, not mowed. Back in Montana, we couldn't grow much of a lawn anyway around the house and dog cottages, so rough pasture grass was…

I've been working on our fall print newsletter, and we recently did the photo shoot for the photo of Alayne and me that goes on page 2 of each issue. Earlier this year I posted the outtakes of the photo shoot for the spring/summer newsletter, so I thought you might enjoy seeing some from this…

I took this photo yesterday of blind Widget and three-legged Ella with Dr. Bryan Harnett, a board-certified internal medicine specialist at Vermont Veterinary Internal Medicine in Burlington. While our small animal primary care vets are nearby, the specialists are in larger cities in southern New Hampshire or in Vermont. Burlington, which is a two-hour drive…
