— Before I begin this post, I wanted to say that Alayne and I are very grateful for all the heartfelt comments and condolences we received in the past couple of days about losing Avery. He was a special one, and it was wonderful knowing how many people were touched by his story. Thank you…

For the second year in a row, Rolling Dog Farm will be the beneficiary of the Peace Cereal Giving Back Program. We will receive a contribution for every Peace Cereal product sold during the first quarter of 2012. Last year that came to $7,500 for the animals! The Peace Cereal Giving Back Program is designed…

Just five more days was all we had with him. When I took Avery to see the cardiologist last Monday, I knew his heart condition would shorten his life. But I had been thinking we'd have him with us for at least several more months, if not longer. Five months, maybe. Not five days. On…

Here's Kate holding our newest arrival, blind Billy, who just came to us from Atlanta Beagle Rescue. Morgan S., who runs the group, had emailed me to say: We got him from South Carolina last weekend. He's maybe about 6-8 years old and has the wide open stare of PRA. The shelter neutered him before…

Late last week we noticed that blind Avery's belly seemed distended and his breathing had suddenly become labored, so we took him to our clinic in Whitefield on Thursday for an exam. As it turned out, that was the day the clinic's new digital X-ray machine broke down, so we had to take him to…

The usual routine every morning is that we first go upstairs to the (relatively) sound-proof room on the second story of the dog wing, where blind Widget and Dexter T. Dickens and any other night-howlers sleep, and carry them outside. Then we head to the dog room and start letting out the rest of the…

Shelby just sent me this photo of all three blind and deaf ones snoozing together … Spencer on the left, Manny in the middle and Katie on the right. She had tiptoed into the house at lunch to get the photo with her phone. When she wrote me the email, she said, "At the moment…

Shelby M., who adopted blind and deaf Katie and Spencer from us a few weeks ago, recently sent me this photo of her blind and deaf Pug, Manny, curled up with Katie. Shelby wrote, "Manny is delighted to have another pillow." I'm not sure where Spencer was when the photo was taken, but since Katie…

Blind Goldie may be old, a bit daffy, and sometimes confused about things — "Do I want to go outside? Wait, wasn't I just outside?" — but if her brain is starting to show the effects of her advanced years (15 and counting), her nose sure isn't. We'll still find her in the kitchen, staring…

The real kind. Not the drinkin' kind. We've had three wild turkeys start hanging around in the past couple of weeks. It's not unusual to see a flock of these beautiful creatures cruising through the farm every now and then, but what is a bit unusual is to have a group take up residence for…
