Once we got to New Hampshire, Alayne and I joked we needed to change the name of the sanctuary from Rolling Dog Ranch to Sleeping Dog Farm for a couple of reasons. First, in New England large acreages like ours are called farms, not ranches. Second, the dogs do a whole lot more sleeping than…

One of the funny things about the blind Poodle sisters is how they nap when they're outside: almost always joined at the hip in some fashion. And if not the hip, then the shoulder, neck, or back. Joined in one way or another. I've been meaning to build a portfolio of these various positions, but…

Fall has always been Alayne's and my favorite season, and wow, did we ever move to the right place for autumn colors! I took these photos on Saturday morning, looking east towards the pond and the White Mountains beyond. (What a difference a couple of weeks makes — compare this to the photo I posted…

Well, we knew someone would be lucky enough to adopt this beautiful three-legged girl, but we were thrilled beyond belief when two very special people turned out to be the ones! Remember Paul and Jennifer, who adopted blind and deaf Gabe from us back in May? Yes, they're adopting Ella, too! They had fallen in…

I was working in my office this morning on the second floor of the "people wing" of the house when I heard a "thud!" from the living room below, and then the sound of magazines and books hitting the floor. I hurried down the stairs and that's what I found waiting for me: our two…

Earlier this year in March, I had a blog post about one of our volunteers, Kate — who had adopted blind Luke from us — moving in with Wendy, who had adopted blind Stoney and blind and deaf Baron from us. Well, Kate recently sent us this photo of the three roommates at the PetFest…

At our ranch in Montana, we used to get so many rainbows we called our little valley "Rainbow Flat." Well, it looks like we moved to a spot with just as many rainbows! Alayne took this photo out the back door the other day … a day when she counted a total of five different…

This is blind Helen, doing what she does best: sleeping with her tongue out. I saw her lying on the floor of the "people wing" of the house the other day, and it looked like her tongue had been glued to the floor. When Helen is sleeping, about half the time she has her tongue…

Alayne got this photo of our recent arrival, blind Lucy, hanging out with some of her new friends last week. That's blind and deaf Katie closest to the camera, her brother Spencer next to her (of course), and blind Austin the Beagle. Lucy at first was very timid around other dogs, but as I predicted…

I'll be taking a blog break for the next week and will resume posting for Monday, September 13th. For our readers in the U.S., we hope you enjoy your Labor Day holiday weekend!
