In light of the Labor Day holiday, we're going to take a blogging break and will resume posting the week of September 9. See you then!

Alayne and I had gone out to bring the goats in from browsing the other evening, and noticed as we walked up to the gate that two of the young males were having a grand time sorting out who was top dog … um, top goat. This was just pure fun. Both boys have been…

My alternate headline for this post was "Why Are You Staring At Me?" That's Travis, our dog with a fused jaw, eating his dinner a few days ago. We were taking photos for the fall print newsletter, which will have Travis on the cover. Though not this photo! For those who may not know the…

Kate W. in Missoula, who adopted blind Luke from us several years ago, just sent us this video of Luke picking strawberries. Kate wrote, "For weeks now I've been trying to get a video of Luke picking strawberries. I don't know when he discovered this but one day I caught him mowing through my strawberry…

On Saturday, when we turned the horses out, they immediately realized that the first apples of the season had fallen off the apple tree that hangs over the corner of the two paddocks. They put their muzzles to the ground and began scooping up the apples. Alayne and I stood there for a while, munching…

Alayne and I set up a new goat paddock over the weekend, fencing in about 3 acres of lush New Hampshire vegetation using portable electric fencing. On Monday morning, we turned the goat herd loose, and I had the video camera ready to record the happy and eager munching. This is our herd…

That's blind and deaf Gabe, in a photo taken back in Montana in 2009. Gabe had just returned home from surgery to remove a nasal tumor that had blocked his ability to breathe through his nose and to smell. Several months later, Paul and Jenny M. from Napa, California, adopted Gabe and gave him an amazing…

I took Darla yesterday to see the ophthalmologist in Burlington, Dr. Vivian Jamieson, for her two-week post-surgery exam. I took the camera but left it in the van, so the photo above is from last week when Darla was under the lunch table, happily expecting another small treat after another round of eye drops. In…

Although this looks like just another Dachshund sunning himself, there's a little more significance to this photo. That's blind Willy, who came to us last November after several twists and turns along the way. Willy is kind of an odd duck, a little fellow who keeps to himself and lives in his own world. He's…

Well, that didn't take long. Just six months after arriving here from Louisiana, Scamp was adopted on Saturday by a wonderful family from Nashua, New Hampshire. Holding Scamp in the photo is Charlotte S., with her husband Len on the right and her daughter Barbara on the left. Charlotte and Len's dog Max, an Aussie,…
