The final dog Lori groomed last week was our blind Husky Mitch. That's what was left on the laundry room floor when we got done. In years past, we always took Mitch to our veterinary clinic for his summer haircut, so he could be sedated during it. That's because, as I wrote in a post…

Alayne got this shot of little blind Clyde at the door to the living room a couple of days ago. He'd been racing up the ramp to the door, peering in, then zooming back down the ramp, across the yard, and up the other ramp to the center hallway door (where the seven closets are). …

Our fabulous groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, New Hampshire, came out yesterday to work on some of the dogs, including the terrier fuzzballs, blind Fuzzy and blind Clyde the Yorkie. Also on the list for overdue grooming was our new arrival, blind Sophie — the longhaired Dachshund whose low-slung physique and hairy coat turned her…

Yesterday morning when I walked into the dog room to start letting all the bladders I mean dogs out, I could see blind and deaf Spinner had something stuck to her chin. I walked over to the twin bed she sleeps on (yes, she has the whole thing to herself all night long … blind…

Alayne took this shot right after lunch, just moments after I had started mowing the dog yard in the front of the house (I was "off camera" to the right). Blind Widget was in the living room and wanted to go out to potty, so Alayne opened the door and off she went to the…

Well, this morning — cooler, cloudy, and damp from rain overnight — Travis was back under his dog house in his hole, but in an entirely new way: face first, looking out. This hole is obviously bigger than I first thought (maybe I should get in there myself?) because he can fit his entire body…

I was scooping poop on Saturday morning when I saw Travis lying underneath the dog house in his yard. Now, to be honest, my first reaction was, "Well, at least you're finally using that @#%&! hole you dug!" Last year, soon after we moved here, Travis went to work excavating under the corner of his…

When I snuck quietly into the dog room this morning about 6:15 to take these photos, I was hoping to find blind Madison and blind and deaf Spinner sleeping "stacked," one on the dog bed below and one on the big bed above. That's the way they were yesterday morning when I walked in ……

I took these photos this morning, when Dexter and blind Goldie realized Alayne was loading the dishwasher and that meant, "time to help!" In other words, "time to see if there's anything edible/lickable still left on the dishes!" They head over to the kitchen whenever one of us is loading the dishwasher, whether it's our…

This is our new arrival, blind Sophie, who has this adorable way of sitting up on her hindquarters to beg for food from the table. Given her plump, oblong shape, this is not an easy thing to do. Gravity is not her friend, so she often wobbles around on her rear legs before coming back…
