Holly rolling 1

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 story on the blog in a long time, so I will in an upcoming blog post.  Holly has developed a new and peculiar habit since coming to New Hampshire … something that happens after Widget gets done mining.  Alayne recently took some photos of Holly pursuing this new interest, so I will share Holly's story when we post those photos next week.

I'm going to take a blog break until Monday in light of the long holiday weekend, so from all of us at the sanctuary, Happy Thanksgiving!

    That is so NOT FAIR to keep us in limbo over the long holiday weekend about Holly’s story!!! I shall wait with baited breath to hear the details next week on Holly’s journey to RDR. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Alayne, the blessed animals, and all the supporters and followers of the happiest place on Earth!

    If we all took the time to enjoy a fine fall day with a roll in grass the world would be a much happier place. Roll on Holly!

    How are the cats and horses doing?
    I have rescued a 15 year old Lab mix who was tied to a doghouse all her life. She loves to roll and I have told her a number of times I should change the name of the farm to Rolling Daisy Farm.

    Look how happy Holly looks. And look at the grass in late November!! Can you believe it!! Have a good thanksgiving and maybe share some turkey with the cats. Like Diana, we’d LOVE to see them. We have not seen any posts on them lately, Horses too! (I’d love to see how that “little boy” Cash has grown up). Enjoy your break and the holiday.
