I was walking out the back door of the dog wing the other morning and saw a cot in one of the yards tipped up against a dog house. Usually if a dog is going to try to get underneath a cot, he or she will end up flipping it entirely over. But this one…

Back in July I posted some photos of our new arrival, blind Sophie, sitting up to try and cajole food from us at the dining table. Well, we noticed she started doing this in her crate at dinnertime, too. (As I've explained before, we feed most of the dogs in their crates to avoid competition…

The folks at WMUR have posted their wonderful feature story on the farm on their website here. Enjoy! [Please note:  My usual disclaimer — If you can't get the video to play, I can't troubleshoot it for you or offer any advice on how to get it to work on your computer.] Our only disappointment…

Back in July we had a blog post about a TV crew that was here to do a story for New Hampshire Chronicle on WMUR-TV, Channel 9, in Manchester.  The producer told us last week that the story will air on Wednesday, September 28th, at 7 p.m. Here is the program's webpage with the promo…

Yes, the fall colors are already appearing up here in the "North Country," as they call this part of New Hampshire. A few trees and shrubs started turning a couple of weeks ago, in fact. We have a way to go before the peak fall foliage is upon us, but judging from how fast the…

Yes, our beloved little wobbler, Mink — otherwise known as Schmink or Schminkers to his family and friends — is now happily living in his new home in Portland, Oregon. Shirley L. and James C., long-time supporters and wonderful friends, had asked a couple of months ago if they could adopt our last two disabled…

As I mentioned in yesterday's brief post, we were very lucky to have had no damage at all from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene. Right up until Sunday morning, the National Weather Service had forecast from 5 to 8 inches of rain for us from the storm, and that's what we had prepared for. As it turned…

All is well here … no damage from the storm, animals and we are doing fine. But we have no Internet access … a fiber optic line in Vermont that feeds our Internet provider was knocked out, so I am in town briefly using the library's Wi-Fi service.  Will post more when our Internet service…

I was walking through the hallway the other afternoon when I saw this sight out the window. It looked for a moment as if someone had randomly air-dropped some dogs onto the grounds and they landed in a row, right up and down (and just off!) the ramp. From the front, that's Sophie, Avery, Fuzzy,…

Okay, so the first one on the left is pretty faint, but a double rainbow it was late on Friday afternoon. Alayne saw it first, and I headed out the door with the camera. It must have stayed visible for at least five minutes or more. Not the first rainbow I've photographed from here, and…
