As I mentioned in yesterday's brief post, we were very lucky to have had no damage at all from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene. Right up until Sunday morning, the National Weather Service had forecast from 5 to 8 inches of rain for us from the storm, and that's what we had prepared for. As it turned…

All is well here … no damage from the storm, animals and we are doing fine. But we have no Internet access … a fiber optic line in Vermont that feeds our Internet provider was knocked out, so I am in town briefly using the library's Wi-Fi service. Will post more when our Internet service…

The current issue of New Scientist has a package of several articles on how animals "see" the world around them, and one of the articles is on a dog's sense of smell — not only how acute the sense is, but on how they smell things. And it's different than the way we humans do.…

I was walking through the hallway the other afternoon when I saw this sight out the window. It looked for a moment as if someone had randomly air-dropped some dogs onto the grounds and they landed in a row, right up and down (and just off!) the ramp. From the front, that's Sophie, Avery, Fuzzy,…

Okay, so the first one on the left is pretty faint, but a double rainbow it was late on Friday afternoon. Alayne saw it first, and I headed out the door with the camera. It must have stayed visible for at least five minutes or more. Not the first rainbow I've photographed from here, and…

We were taking photos late yesterday afternoon for the fall print newsletter when Daisy the Dachshund started going after a fly that was buzzing around. She loves catching flies … she'll be out on the porch, snapping away at them. And despite being so small and with a bad spine, her reflexes are so quick…

Barbara Edwards, the quilter from Seeley Lake, Montana who has done an awesome annual quilt raffle for us several years running, just held the drawing for the 2011 quilt raffle. Barbara asked her local vet, Dr. Tanya Fyfe from Seeley Swan Veterinary Clinic, to pick the winning raffle ticket — thank you, Dr. Fyfe! And…

The final dog Lori groomed last week was our blind Husky Mitch. That's what was left on the laundry room floor when we got done. In years past, we always took Mitch to our veterinary clinic for his summer haircut, so he could be sedated during it. That's because, as I wrote in a post…

Alayne got this shot of little blind Clyde at the door to the living room a couple of days ago. He'd been racing up the ramp to the door, peering in, then zooming back down the ramp, across the yard, and up the other ramp to the center hallway door (where the seven closets are). …

Our fabulous groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, New Hampshire, came out yesterday to work on some of the dogs, including the terrier fuzzballs, blind Fuzzy and blind Clyde the Yorkie. Also on the list for overdue grooming was our new arrival, blind Sophie — the longhaired Dachshund whose low-slung physique and hairy coat turned her…
