I took these photos late on Saturday morning, after putting blind Bentley out for mid-day potty break. When he first came here he was kind of timid, and we pretty much carried him from point A to point B. He'd get lost out in the yard, and we'd have to go out and retrieve him.…

Alayne took these photos the other morning through the glass door of our bedroom. That's one of our barn cats, Skitter, on her usual morning perch scanning for something edible down below. The barn cats love coming out to this deck and sitting up there, because it gives them a great view from on high.…

Alayne took these photos this afternoon as I was coming back from the hay barn with the daily load on the utility vehicle, a Kubota RTV we've had for several years. It's a tough little machine that can actually carry a half-ton — that's 1,000 pounds — in the bed of the vehicle, or as…

I mentioned last summer in a post how little Dexter has been out of sorts since losing his best pal, our blind Goldie, last year. He's been snuggling up with a couple of other older ladies these days, including Widget, as you can see in the photo above. Widget had never been one to share…

Whenever a big storm is headed towards New England, like this weekend's winter storm "Nemo," we don't worry much about losing power. That's because this place came equipped with a massive back-up generator we call "Big Red." It was one of those things that come when you buy a property and get as an additional…

I came across this article in the Wall Street Journal last weekend and forgot I hadn't posted it. The link may or may not work because the WSJ is a subscription site, so I'm including the text below. Note I had a post back in 2009 on the same subject, with the same findings, from…

When blind Louie first came to us, we had written in his welcoming blog post that the folks at Altanta Beagle Rescue had taken him to "an ophthalmologist in Atlanta, who determined Louie was blind from a combination of PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and cataracts. Though completely blind, his eyes are comfortable and need no further…

We woke up one morning last week to a coating of ice on everything from a freezing rain just before dawn. I went out to the big barn, just 40 feet or so from the house, but found myself sliding down the iced-over pavement back towards the house. Time for … ash! Yes, for conditions…
