Alayne took these photos on Friday when she saw blind Widget heading up the ramp to claim the chair Dexter was sleeping in. As we've posted before, Widget has perfected the power of "looming," in which she hovers over the dog who is occupying the space she wants. As she looms over them, she also…

Ever since Alayne and I started this special place over 10 years ago, we have been concerned about what we feed our disabled dogs and cats. We learned early on how to read the ingredient labels and how to distinguish low-quality food from the high-quality brands — and the only way to do that is…

Paul and Jenny M., who adopted blind-and-deaf Gabe from us last May and then three-legged Ella from us in September, just sent us these photos in an email whose subject line read, "An educational outing for Gabe and La Bella Ella." Paul wrote, "My youngest son Aidan [that's him in the photo above with Gabe]…

I realized it had been quite a while since we had an update on this adorably cute little boy, so I took that photo after lunch today for this post. I added the ear-flip for an extra dose of cute. Wally, or Fuzzy as he is known to his fans, or Mr. McDuff as he…

I didn't have any animal photos for a blog post today so I thought I would take a photo of the view from my office window. Pretty nice, eh? (Click on photo for larger image.) Definitely a winter wonderland out there! This view is looking east, and those are the White Mountains in the distance.…

Late on Friday afternoon we had one of those typical horsey disasters. I say "typical" because they usually a) involve fences and b) occur at bad times, i.e., late on a Friday, at night, on a holiday, or any time on a weekend. Never, ever, on Tuesdays at 10 in the morning. Kate was driving…

To give you an idea of how much snow we've had, I took this photo this afternoon of one of the igloos in the dog yards. As you can see, it is entirely covered, the access hole completely sealed. Although this part of New Hampshire is definitely snow country, people keep telling us that this…

Peace Cereal has selected the ranch as the first beneficiary of the company's new Peace Cereal Giving Back Program. We will receive a contribution for every Peace Cereal product sold during the first quarter of 2011! The Peace Cereal Giving Back Program is designed to raise funds for four non-profit partners each year that sync…

Alayne took this photo of me raking snow off the roof yesterday afternoon. I'm joking when I call this a "New England custom" — I know this is done elsewhere — but until we moved to New Hampshire, we'd never seen anyone do it, let alone had to do it ourselves. But it seems like…

Melissa McDaniel emailed to say that our promotion of her book sales resulted in proceeds of around $1,000 that will be going to the ranch! Wow! Thank you to everyone who ordered one of Melissa's beautiful books, and thanks to Melissa for doing this! Melissa also wrote, "I have to say, and I deal with…
