Alayne took our new arrival, tiny Pip, last week to see our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Tanya Donovan. We were concerned about a growth on his neck, as well as his underlying health, given his age and physical condition — he's very, very thin. In the photo above, Tanya is doing an ultrasound-guided draw of…

Because of lightning strikes Monday night, we lost Internet service and only have it back intermittently today. Will post once it is back up reliably. Otherwise, all is well here.

Alayne got this shot the other day of blind Sophie enjoying the lush springtime grass under the apple tree blossoms. It seems like we go from "when will the grass finally grow?" to "oh jeez, we need to cut the grass!" in just about a week. And yes, that yard has since been mowed! The…

Here's our newest one, little Pip … and by little I mean 3.5 lbs (1.5 kg) little! He arrived Saturday a week ago, brought by Gale Lang's TLC Pet Transport. Pip came to us from Atlanta Beagle Rescue, which has sent us many blind Beagles over the years. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking,…

I mentioned in the last post that Max had his post-cataract surgery check-up on Tuesday. While his eyes had healed nicely from the surgery, our ophthalmologist, Dr. Sarah Hoy, did notice that small webs of protein clots had developed just in front of his new lenses. This is not unusual, and is "fixed" with the…

Alayne got this shot of Max rolling with his cone over the weekend. She was on the front porch looking over the railing at him. Even rolling, even upside down, even with a cone on, he never takes his eyes off her. As of today, however, his cone is finally off. Alayne took Max and…

This boy came to us a couple of weeks ago from an animal control officer in Vermont. Sparky's owners recently went to jail, where they will be staying for a long, long time, and the remaining family did not want any of the dogs left behind. As the animal control officer told me on the…

A few weeks ago Holly began stealing Wilbur's food dish from his "apartment," as we call it — the big crate stuffed with bedding where he spends the night, as well as eats his meals. At first we thought she was only doing her usual pre-wash for us, but then we began suspecting — correctly,…

The other day Alayne had come in the back door and headed through the laundry room and then down the hall way to the people wing. Mad Max the Dachshund had been sleeping in the laundry room, burrowed into some bedding that included a towel. When he realized the Minion Leader had — gasp! —…

For the second year in a row, photographer Melissa McDaniel is graciously doing another book promotion to benefit our disabled animals. Her promotion last year raised $1,000 for the farm! Here are the details Melissa sent: If you purchase any item from Melissa's online store Tuesday or Wednesday this week, May 8 & May 9, Melissa will donate…
