Spencer Katie and Manny sleeping

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 I've got Katie in my lap and Spencer is sleeping beside me with Manny. I think it's safe to say they're settling in."

Weekly Winner and $1,000 for the Animals!

Yes, the Shelter Challenge people finally posted the weekly winners for Weeks 4 and 5 (at the same time), and we — or I should say, you — won $1,000 for the animals here! Thank you so much! We thought we had won it a couple of weeks ago when we got a few emails from people congratulating us for the win, but the Shelter Challenge had not posted any results past Week 3 … so we were reluctant to say anything. I gather the Animal Rescue Site must send out an email of some sort, but I don't know why they don't update their page at the same time. In any case, the check for $1,000 also just arrived and is now in the bank. Thank you for all your dedicated voting to benefit the animals at Rolling Dog Farm!

    That is just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. How lovely for Manny to have good friends who can totally relate to him. I’m so glad everyone found each other!

    That’s a beautiful sight! I’d say the settling-in process is complete.

    Yay! Spencer and Katie together again. Sure, there’s a Pug in the middle, but Manny looks quite content to be snuggled by a couple of Dachsunds. Who wouldn’t? Thank you, Shelby, for adopting the whole group. They do look “settled in.”

    OMG! How cute is that! We all know from the blogs just how cute and sweet Katie and Spencer are, BUT Mr. Manny also looks like an absolute sweetheart as well. I could just squeeze them all 🙂 (Except for the fact that my Chichuhua would NEVER allow that to happen)!!! So I am sending vitual hugs and kisses!
    Thanks for sharing them with us Shelby and kudos to you for giving three disabled dogs a wonderful home!
    Do you ever get updates on that lovebug Herbie??? Love the updates on the adopted animals 🙂

    This is why you “let sleeping dogs lie”. It’s so relaxing to watch. They are not only adorable, they are beautiful as well.
