Alayne and I walked into the dog room first thing the other morning to let the dogs out and saw blind Cedar still sound asleep in his crate … but wearing his food dish on his head. Must have been one heck of a party in his crate that night. — $1,000 Weekly Winner Again…

This is what happens when Widget wants to stretch her legs occasionally during her 24-hour nap-fest and finds her exit down the ramp blocked … in this case, by blind Madison. Even though Widget is blind, she knows Madison is there and lying across the bottom step of the ramp. She doesn't want to step…

John Woestendiek, a Pulitzer Prize-winning former journalist at the Baltimore Sun who now blogs on all-things-dog at Ohmidog!, has been on an extended trip across the United States with his dog Ace, inspired by (and retracing part of) John Steinbeck's journey in "Travels with Charley." John had first met us back in Ovando when he…

First, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your heartfelt comments and kind words about losing Patti. Alayne and I appreciated it a lot. Patti had been with us so long, and was such a part of us and our identity, that her loss was especially hard. But it meant so…

Our beautiful blind girl Patti died tonight, just a few minutes before 7 p.m. She passed away here at home peacefully, lying on a big soft fleece bed in the dog room, covered with a fleece blanket. It was three weeks since she was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma. She was one of our stars, a favorite…

I took this photo of our blind horses grazing this morning — though there's really not much to graze any longer, and turn-out these days is mostly for exercise rather than nutrition. As you can see, the leaves are all gone, the apples have (mostly) all dropped, and it's getting that "winter-ish" look out there.…

Here is another set of shots of Irene trying to win over Fuzzy … though as usual, she didn't get anywhere. More sweet nothings in his ear, starting in the photo above. Maybe she thought he was hard of hearing and she needed to get closer, so she lifts up his ear: She wondered if…

Pigeons. No, we're not taking in pigeons. We're trying to make them go away. At some point this past summer, a pair of pigeons arrived at the farm and promptly made their home in the cattle shed. A nest above one of the doors soon followed, and then two new little pigeons. Since pigeons poo…

Vicky L. from Connecticut, who adopted blind Lucy from us earlier this year, has been wonderful about sending us updates ever since on the little dog we've called her "Pink Princess." With all the pink beds, toys, leashes and collars Lucy is now endowed with, it seemed like an appropriate name. Well, Vicky just sent…

After a year of carrying the "table-hounds" down the hall to the dog room so Alayne and I could eat our own meals in peace, I finally found the doggie barrier we had used in Montana to keep the dogs out of the dining room and kitchen. A few weeks ago I put it back…
