  • No, not that blind and deaf Gabe, this one is the blind and deaf Gabe we first mentioned on the blog in early May.  This sweet older boy just arrived yesterday from Pennsylvania, where he had been fostered by longtime friends and supporters of the ranch, Barb and Jerry W.  For the history on this…

  • If the big fir in the front yard is a favorite place to hang out when the weather is nice, the porch is where the action is for rainy days.  In the photo starting at the top, that's blind Helen at the far end, blind Penny, blind Priscilla, her sister Molly, then Bailey and blind…

  • There's a favorite spot in the front yard, and it's under a big fir tree that casts a wonderful shadow on warm, sunny days. That's blind Molly and Priscilla under the tree in the photo above. Here's an earlier shot I took of blind Goldie enjoying the tree … she's the tiny gold speck right…

  • I was scooping the dog yards this morning when I looked over and saw blind and deaf Spencer using his sister Katie as a pillow.  They were both soaking up the sun, snoozing soundly.  I've been trying to get a photo of them sleeping for a while, because they always use each other as pillows. …

  • At midnight last night, Gale's caravan of Rolling Dog Ranch animals arrived … all safe and sound.  By the time we got everyone unloaded, let them wander around in the dog yards for a potty break, and then put them up for the night, it was close to 2 a.m. before I finally got to…

  • The dogs and cats are on the way to New Hampshire!  Alayne got these photos of the caravan leaving Widget's House on Sunday, and they should be arriving tomorrow.  (Yes, the gates are all hung!)  The gang is being transported by Gale Lang and her team at TLC Pet Transport from Crittenden, Kentucky.  I talked…

  • This is right up there with the most heartwarming happy endings we've ever had — and we've had a lot over the years.  Actually, other than Charlie, the blind Beagle whose vision we restored through surgery and then adopted out last year, it has to be the most heartwarming happy ending for us. Blind and…

  • The good news keeps on coming!  Last Saturday our long-time volunteer Laura W., who had adopted blind Levi from us a few years ago, asked if she could adopt Timmy as well.  Since we are just one week away from shipping the animals to New Hampshire, this was what you might call a "just-in-time adoption"…

  • Chennell B., who adopted Twist from us last July, just sent us some photos and an update on this boy.  Chennell's family has a ranch in eastern Montana, and Twist — now renamed Twitch — has become quite the ranch Dachshund.  Chennell wrote, "The little man has all of us wrapped around his little paw.  He…

  • Another happy ending! Our big lovable lug of a Lab, blind Moose, was adopted this week by our long-time volunteer Rosemary M. of Missoula.  In the photo above, that's Rosemary on the left and her daughter Ana on the right.  I took the photo when they came to pick up Moose on Tuesday.  Rosemary emailed…
