First, Alayne and I wanted to thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences about dear Bentley. It was a crushing loss, and one we are struggling to deal with, but we are so grateful for the outpouring of emotional support and kind words over the past few days. For every tragic outcome like Bentley's, something caught…

For some reason he hadn't been on the blog very much, and I don't know why. Bentley was a star, and I just never seemed to have the camera ready when he was giving us another wonderful moment. He was one of the sweetest, funniest, most affectionate little dogs we've ever had the privilege to…

Well, he could pass for one of the characters from the bar scene in Star Wars, but this is blind Zach after his surgery to remove the large growth on his head. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Josie Mallinckrodt, did the surgery last week in Burlington on the day Darla was having her ophthalmology and internal…

After a full battery of eye tests last week, we learned that we will be able to restore blind Darla's vision! Yes, her retinas are working just fine behind her mature cataracts. In the photo above, vet tech Rachel is holding Darla during the all-important electroretinogram (ERG) test, which determines how well the retinas are…

So what's a big 115 lb livestock guardian dog supposed to do on a rainy "indoor" day? Why, chew on a huge kong, of course! It was pouring rain this morning, which meant leaving the goats and their "bodyguards" in their pens. (Did you know goats hate getting wet?) Aaron is now one year old…

The only two completely dog-free zones in the house are our bedroom and my chair in the corner of the living room. That's the same chair that has moved with us from Seattle to Montana and on to New Hampshire. It's the same chair that survived Priscilla the blind Poodle shredding the seat cushion a…

Our wonderful groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, was here most of yesterday grooming several of her usual clients, as well as new arrival blind Zach. Alayne got this shot of three of them seeing her off as she left in late afternoon. That's Scamp on the left, Bentley in the middle, and Zach. Scamp and…

Our new arrival, blind Darla, is one food-motivated older lady. Because we feed the dogs dinner in their crates, she now associates the crates with food. So even before I arrive to start serving up dinner, Miss Darla heads to the dog room and finds an open crate to sit in. She's convinced that this…
