One of the reasons we wanted to move to this property in New Hampshire was to have our own woodlot. Because we heat the buildings with wood, providing firewood for ourselves was an important step towards becoming more self-sufficient. Since we moved mid-year, we didn't have the time to put up our own firewood, let…

This is able-bodied Holly, who recently began helping us with the dishwashing chores by doing the "pre-wash" on the dog dishes. Holly slips into the dog room, picks up the dishes still in crates with her mouth, brings them out, sets them down, and then methodically licks them clean. This is not to be confused…

I almost forgot! Alayne taped a radio interview with the NPR station in Washington, D.C. — WAMU 88.5 — a couple of weeks ago and it is going to air on the station's Animal House program this Saturday, Nov. 27, at 12 noon Eastern time. The show's producer told me this morning that the audio…

Alayne got these shots a few days ago of Holly, one of our two non-disabled dogs, rolling in the front yard on a beautiful sunny fall morning. Holly thought she might fit in better at the Rolling Dog Ranch if she perfected the art of rolling in pure happiness. I don't think we've told Holly's…

Another amazing happy ending! In response to our October email newsletter, I received an email from Marcia S., a long-time supporter of the sanctuary who lives in Connecticut. She wrote, "I am so excited that you have moved closer to us and I would love to adopt a handicapped or blind dog, particularly a Cocker…

When we first said we were moving the sanctuary to New Hampshire, one of the many reasons we cited for the change was wanting a milder climate than we had in Montana. That raised some eyebrows back here in the north end of New Hampshire, where they don't consider this a "milder climate" by any…

Alayne and I were taking photos of Snuggles last weekend, just before she left for Colorado, for use in our spring 2011 print newsletter (hey, you have to plan ahead in this business!). After taking a lot of shots for a potential cover photo, Miss Snuggles was growing tired of the modeling thing and beginning…

Here's the sweet girl who arrived early on Sunday morning in the same transport that Snuggles left on … one Cocker in, one Cocker out! This is Suzi, who came from a small foster-based rescue group in Michigan called Happy Homes Rescue. Anne R., who runs the group, emailed me a few weeks ago to…

This is a very happy ending we've been keeping under wraps for a while — and today we're thrilled to report the news! The day after I posted Snuggles' arrival on the blog, I received an email from Ellen M., a long-time supporter of the ranch who happens to be a veterinary internal medicine specialist…

Once again, Julie and Rob at Love of Dog Bakery in Maryland have kindly chosen the ranch as their charity of the month — this time for November. A portion of their sales during November will be donated to the sanctuary. Orders need to be in before the end of the month. Love of Dog…
