Little Wilbur, our newest arrival, is settling in and making himself at home. He spent his first couple of weeks in a bumper bed, keeping pretty much to himself, but in the past few days he's started getting out and about. I took these photos yesterday — the one with Dexter was about 7:45 in…

Well, it took a while, but finally that special person came along to adopt two very special little dogs — our dynamic duo, Katie and Spencer, both of whom are blind and deaf. In the photo above, their new Mom, Shelby M., is on the right holding Katie while Alayne holds Spencer. We've had Katie…

I took this photo yesterday when Kate and I were moving another load of firewood from the big pile on the ridge above the farm (this is directly to the west of the house and barns). We have a large woodshed (8' deep x 32' wide, or 2.4 m x 9.7 m) right next to…

We're having one of those challenging winters where it doesn't snow enough, and yet doesn't warm up enough to melt everything. The result is a thick layer of ice everywhere … on the drive and in the pastures, as you can see in the photo above, in the dog yards, on the walkways and ramps…

Last Monday Alayne took our new arrival Wilbur to our vet clinic, Whitefield Animal Hospital, for his initial screening. In the photo above, Dr. Nancy Lefavour is using a Tono-Pen to check the eye pressure in Wilbur's bulging eye. (The Tono-Pen belongs to us and we have loaned it to the clinic, since they didn't…

This little 8-pound Chihuahua mix arrived a few days ago, sent to us by Rebecca Y. at Becky's Bridge, a rescue group in Shreveport, Louisiana. She had pulled him from a shelter in Garland, Texas, the week before. The lady who transported him for Rebecca described him as "really sweet but filthy – wet with…

I've mentioned before that we have a free-range flock of hens, and wow, do the dogs love fresh scrambled eggs! I took this photo on a recent evening, just before getting ready to scramble up the 109 — yes, I counted 'em up as I washed them — eggs you see on the counter. (In…

Now that winter has arrived, the dogs are spending more time indoors rather than outside. To make it easier on those of us who have to shuttle them in and out during the day, we moved a group of dogs who typically play in one of the large yards behind the house to the big…

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season! I thought we'd start off the new blog year with the show Dexter put on for us a couple of weeks ago. Alayne had just brought up a new case of paper towels to the kitchen (we go through so many paper towels we buy them by…
