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 anything else. That's blind Goldie snoozing in the living room; she's almost always in one of those two Ikea chairs. Alayne says sometimes she gets drowsy from just looking at all the sleeping dogs around us.
Alas, a quick Google search shows there are at least two Sleeping Dog Farms in existence … one right next door in Vermont, the other a retreat in British Columbia. Oh well. But we weren't really thinking about changing the name … not to worry! Besides, the dogs think they're already living at a retreat.
