That's our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Marielle Goossens of Peak Veterinary Referral Center in Burlington, inserting tongue depressors in Travis' mouth. (Click on photo for larger image.) When I took the photo last Thursday, Dr. Goossens was inserting the 17th tongue depressor. She was on her way to getting 20 in that day, which turned…

Alayne recently got this shot of blind Sophie parading around the house with a wooden door stop she discovered in the laundry room. Now, we've had these door stops in various rooms for years, so why this one became a newly found treasure we don't really know. But since Sophie just had an extensive dental…

Not content with being the World's-Most-Expensive-Chihuahua, Wilbur continued to run up the score just in case any other Chihuahuas out there were coveting his title. (If necessary, we can always amend it to the World's-Most-Expensive-One-Eyed-Chihuahua.) Early Friday morning, as I was preparing to leave for Burlington to take another dog for a specialist appointment, Alayne…

Back in September I mentioned in a post how Darla had managed to break all the rules, and in the process also staked a claim to the spare room on the second floor as her personal bedroom. Yes, that's her "dog bed" these days. And when her gentle tail-thumping isn't enough to bring us into…

One of our long-time supporters recently sent me a link to this video, and I thought you might enjoy seeing it. This will make you smile and probably laugh out loud, too. It's just under 3 minutes long — stick around, because about halfway through, the tables get turned. —- Final 2013 Shelter Challenge Underway…

Way back in 2006, we adopted out a handsome young fellow named Buddy to Susan S. in Missoula. Susan was not only kind enough to give this big, blind boy a loving home, but she's periodically sent us updates on him. She just sent us that photo above, along with a note saying Buddy is…

Bugsy had heard the old cliche about "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while," and he set out to prove that even a blind dog can tree a squirrel once in a while. Alayne heard Bugsy barking like crazy in the front yard one day last week and went out to…
