Oh, the twists and turns in a poor dog's life. I didn't even realize until today, when looking for emails about Willy for background material for this post, that we had declined to take this very same dog back in July! The original request came in a letter from Marilyn O., who works with…

Alayne saw this scene over Thanksgiving … three of the Dachshunds all together in a circle (of sorts). That's blind Sophie on the left, Dexter on top, and Belvie on the right. A very contented trio. Speaking of Dachshunds … did I mention last week we had two new arrivals to introduce? Hmm… — Final Contest…

First, we hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Okay, so this particular welcome is a bit overdue — Bertie came to us from Atlanta Beagle Rescue back in August! But he got off to a bad start his very first night here, when he bit my hand … hard enough to draw blood but…

In light of the Thanksgiving holiday next week, we'll be taking a blog break and will resume posting for Monday, November 26th.

Blind Sophie discovered a new toy in the dog room the other day and spent a couple of hours zooming around the house showing it off to one and all. In fact, Sophie was in such constant motion that most of the photos Alayne took were a bit blurry because Sophie was moving so fast.…

A few minutes after we let the dogs out the other morning, our barn cat Smoke saw blind Penny the Yorkie drinking from the bucket by the fence and headed straight for her. Something about Penny caught his attention, and he kept trying to reach her by sticking his paw through the fence. (I took…

When Alayne and I came in from chores on Friday morning we found blind Madison squashed inside a wire basket in the dog room. This just didn't look comfortable at all, as you can see. I've posted many times over the years about the odd choices some of our dogs make in their sleeping arrangements,…

Here’s another of the many “getting ready for winter” tasks we’ve been doing: Last Saturday we moved the portable hen house (the “eggmobile”) from the spot up on the hill where it sat all summer back down to the farmstead. We did this so it would be close to power and water, and easier for…

First, just a quick update to report that we had no major impact from Sandy — no damage, and the power was out for only about 90 minutes. We had 1.5 inches of rain over 36 hours, quite a bit less than we get during some intense thunderstorms. So we are feeling very fortunate indeed.…
