Blind Widget was rolling around on her bed this weekend, belting out one Christmas carol after another. She joins us in wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It's hard to imagine that a dog going through chemotherapy for lymphoma can be feeling this good. We've definitely had our ups…

I took that photo of Darla on her bed this morning after (apparently) a long night of moving her various blankets around trying to get everything just right. The rather disheveled appearance of her bed didn't seem to bother her. What bothered her was that housekeeping hadn't arrived yet to make the bed and tidy things…

The dogs aren't the only ones needing to see a doctor recently. Last Friday, as our first real winter storm of the season approached, I hooked up the snowplow to the tractor. In the cab, I flicked the control switch a couple of times to move the plow left-to-right, and it dutifully angled left and…

Melissa McDaniel is offering special discounts to Rolling Dog Farm supporters for her beautiful photo books, including her latest one that you see above, Puppy Mill Survivors. Her previous book, Deaf Dogs, featured stunning portraits and short biographies of 78 deaf dogs.Thousands of deaf dogs are put to sleep each year simply because they are…

That's our new arrival Tanner with our internal medicine specialist at Peak, Dr. Marielle Goossens, who shepherded Tanner through a series of diagnostics last Tuesday. Other than the need to gain weight, his physical condition was pretty good. On ultrasound the radiologist found all his internal organs looked fine. His regular bloodwork came back as…

I took this photo early on Tuesday morning as Alayne and I were getting the van ready for the trip to Peak Veterinary Referral Center in Burlington. Widget may be blind but she can hear the engine running, and she knows what that means — it's time to see her doctors! We always put Widget…

Darla is recovering from cancer surgery she had yesterday at Peak Veterinary Referral Center in Burlington. In the photo is Peak's board-certified surgeon, Dr. Kurt Schulz, operating on Darla, assisted by his surgery tech Theresa. Just over a week ago I discovered a round, flat growth smaller than a dime on her left side…

This young fellow arrived last Wednesday night, brought out to us by our pet transport company, TLC Pet Transport. He had been picked up as an emaciated stray and held in an Arkansas animal control shelter for over a month. He was facing euthanasia because his time was up, the kennels were overflowing, and the…

Vicky L., who adopted blind Lucy from us back in 2011, just sent us some more photos … including the one above of daughter Kendall on the left and Lucy on the right. Please notice how together they take up the entire couch and leave no room for Mom or anyone else. I told Vicky…

Back in October I had a couple of blog posts about our Maremma livestock guardian dogs, including the two puppies Joshua and Maggie playing with their uncle Aaron. The boy in the middle of the photo above is Jordan, our other Maremma puppy, and that's Joshua in the background. There in front is one of…
