Yes, it's another dog-fits-perfectly-in-hole shot, this being blind Jake the hound. He's been in this play yard for three years now, and it's the first time we've ever seen him choosing to sleep in the ever-widening hole. Alayne took this photo on Saturday. You can see that we're losing the battle to keep the dog…

I meant to post this for yesterday's blog but was on the road all day and just remembered this morning … so here is a link to a fascinating New York Times story on the latest research into how dogs think. The focus of the piece is on Dr. Brian Hare of Duke University, who…

Wendy M., who adopted blind and deaf Baron and blind Stoney from us several years ago, recently sent us this photo of Baron sunbathing. Now that is one relaxed and happy dog. (And no, he's not sunburned, that's the pinkness of his skin accentuated by the filter on the camera lens.) More proof that being…

Our queen bee Widget also went to Burlington last week for her annual geriatric screening. In the photo above, Dr. Tanya Donovan is doing an echocardiogram of her heart while Dr. Rachel Morgan on the right helps hold Widget still. The arms holding the other end of Widget belong to vet tech Katie. Widget's been…

I took Wilbur back to the clinic in Burlington last Thursday for a blood pressure recheck. In the photo our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Tanya Donovan, is holding Wilbur while vet tech Katie applies the blood pressure cuff to his leg. Do you think that tongue of his could possibly be any longer? Such a…

We were taking photos on Sunday for the spring print newsletter. I was framing the shot to see how it would look when I got that photo of blind Jake giving Alayne a kiss. Here they are in the very next frame, post-smooch: I'd like to give that face a kiss, too. (The woman, not…

Back in early March I had a post on how we found out that Wilbur had high blood pressure, and the implications for his health and in particular, the retina in his remaining eye. Since then things have only become more of a mystery. I recently took him back to see our internal medicine specialist…

Here in New England, it's maple sugaring season again — days above freezing (um, sometimes) and nights below freezing. Our friends at Jon Parks Tractor in Lancaster, who service our tractors and other equipment, also make maple syrup each spring. This year they asked if they could tap our sugar maples to add to their…

That's blind Fuzzy looking none too happy during his grooming on Friday. Our groomer, Lori Fillion, came out to the farm to do several of the dogs for their regularly scheduled "spa sessions." Here's Lori working on him: The body language in that photo above suggests Fuzzy doesn't think his beard needs any trimming, a…
