  • No, that's not a new arrival on the left there, that's … Fuzzy!  Without the fuzz!  Our wonderful groomer Lori Fillion from Littleton was here yesterday, doing Molly and Priscilla and the two blind terriers, Fuzzy and Clyde.  With warmer weather finally upon us, Lori thought Fuzzy could do with a much lighter, summer-ish cut. …

  • Alayne got this shot the other day of another set of morning visitors — deer that wander through early, before we let the dogs out.  One of the many things we love about this new location is the abundance of wildlife on the property.  A couple of evenings ago, when it was warm enough to…

  • Vicky L., who adopted blind Lucy from us a week ago, just sent us these wonderful photos of the "Pink Princess" at home with her new best friend, Vicky's lovely daughter Kendall.  Vicky wrote, "Lucy is doing great! She really is 11 and a half pounds of pure JOY! She has adapted very well to…

  • I looked out the window a couple of days ago and saw this rather interesting sight in the dog house — Katie figuring out yet another way to use her brother Spencer for sleeping.  That's her on top, with her head buried.  Although in this case, I'm not sure how or why this one really…

  • Kate W. in Missoula, who adopted blind Luke from us several years ago, just sent us this photo of Luke with his new best friend, Pearl.  Kate wrote: "Just emailing to let you guys know I adopted a 14-year old cat a little over 10 days ago and things are going great!  Luke has always…

  • I received an email about 10 days ago from Vicky L. in Connecticut, who was interested in adopting blind Lucy.  Vicky and her family have adopted several rescued Greyhounds over the years, including a three-legged one they lost earlier this year.  They still have one Greyhound, an 11-year old named Fawn.  They also have a…

  • Last June I posted a photo of blind and deaf Spencer using his sister Katie as a pillow.  Well, a couple of days ago I looked out the window and saw Katie using Spencer as a headrest.  When they snooze together, inevitably one of them is resting his or her head on the other.  They…

  • Every morning Alayne bundles Bailey into a towel and carries him through the house on a "road trip."  This lets him "explore" and see things he wouldn't ordinarily see, like our offices on the second floor.  They make a stop here in my office, and that photo — taken this morning — is the view…

  • It was 63° (17°C) when I took this photo this afternoon, and the snow is finally, at long last, beginning to give way to bare — if soggy — ground.  We've gone from what seemed like perpetual winter to almost-summer, though all that white stuff still on the ground seems out of place with the…

  • I walked into the dog room late yesterday morning and saw this pair of "golden oldies" sleeping side by side.  That's blind Madison on the left and blind Cedar on the right.  We don't know their exact ages — we rarely do in this business — but we think both are at least 12 or…
