When we get an email about a blind horse, most of the time — as in 99 out of 100 — the owner is asking us to take it. Usually we get a long list of reasons why he or she can't keep their newly blind horse, even in many cases when the person has…

Whenever Alayne is in the kitchen cooking up the big batches of home-cooked food for the dogs, she always has an audience of fans waiting — just hoping! — for bits of potatoes or hamburger to fall off the counter as she's mixing the food together. She took these photos on Sunday of blind Goldie…

This is something we haven't done before, and I don't know why — but from now on when we post any of our animals on PetFinder for adoption, we're also going to post them on the blog so our long-time readers will know they're available for adoption. The blog has helped "arrange" many wonderful adoptions…

Something odd is coming over Widget: she's beginning to snuggle up with Dexter. This has never been her style; usually she'd get quite grumpy if another dog tried to encroach on her personal space and curl up with her. But in recent weeks we've noticed her like this with Dexter more and more. Sharing was…

Alayne took this photo on Saturday, when it was nice and warm and sunny — and we had managed to convince at least a few of the dogs that it really was okay to be outside again … at least briefly. Weather-wussitis was rampant this winter, and we're still scraping them off the front and…

We noticed around lunchtime yesterday that the last ice on the pond had finally melted, leaving it ice-free for the first time since winter began. With spring (oh where are you?) officially arriving today, the timing was perfect. As you can see, we still have quite a bit of snow left, but it is melting…

Here's a fellow you haven't seen before … this is our terrific farrier, Steve Sandvil, who was here on Tuesday. He's been coming out to work on our horses since last summer, but for some reason I've never gotten him on the blog. Alayne (a.k.a. "Potato Lady") came outside from kitchen duty briefly to hold…

Yesterday I drove over to Peaslee's, the farm just across the Connecticut River in Guildhall, Vermont, to pick up a load of 500 pounds (228 kg) of potatoes. This has been a family farm for 80 years, and you can read about the history of this wonderful local institution (and see a related video) here. …

Wendy M., who adopted blind and deaf Baron and blind Stoney from us a couple of years ago, just sent us these photos of Baron groovin' to music he can't actually hear. She's noticed that he gravitates to the speaker when she plays music on her stereo. Wendy wrote, "He will lean up against it…

Since everyone was clamoring for a photo of blind Clyde, here he is in a shot I took this afternoon. I had picked up Clyde and blind Samantha from the vet clinic this morning after dropping them off yesterday — Sam's ear had begun swelling again and needed some more drainage work, and Clyde needed…
