I took our new arrival blind Brody and blind Turtle the cat to our vets in Helena this morning.  This is a photo I took of Brody after I lifted him into the truck before we left.  Brody was going in to the clinic to be neutered, have a heartworm test, a complete blood count…

Sometimes our hearts break for animals we never even meet.  Our friends at Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services in Washington contacted us last week about an old, blind German Shepherd they named Sweetie.  She was dumped at the shelter by her owners earlier this month.  This is the photo the shelter staff took of…

On Friday afternoon our equine vet, Dr. Bill Brown of Missoula, came out to the ranch to work on several of our horses, all of them old, blind ones … with one exception — 6-week old Cash! Bill did a complete health exam on our youngster, and found Cash has a hernia that will need…

Alayne took these photos yesterday afternoon of Bailey making nice with the giant caterpillar.  It was just last week that we posted photos of Bailey giving the caterpillar a solid thrashing.  That was then, this is now. Having shown the caterpillar who’s boss, Bailey has now decided he likes Mr. Caterpillar after all.  In fact,…

I forgot to mention earlier that we recently posted the Today Show video on YouTube to make it easier for folks to share it.  The video quality isn’t as good as the Windows Media and QuickTime versions we have posted on our Web site, but you can’t beat YouTube for ease of use in sharing…

This afternoon I was walking past the cats’ outdoor enclosure when I heard this very loud "meow-meow- meow!"  It was the kind of insistent meow that’s designed to get your attention.  I looked over and saw blind Cinder happily perched inside the cat condo.  It’s like she wanted me to notice her in there.  I…

This is blind Buddy, who came to us from a shelter in Spokane as a lanky puppy.  A wonderful lady in Missoula, Susan S., adopted Buddy last year, and just emailed us an update with new photos: Just wanted to say hi and send you some pictures I took of Buddy today when I gave…

Here are two recent arrivals we’re delighted to introduce … on the left is Alicia M., our new employee, and on the right is Brody, an old blind Lab who came to us late last week from a rescue group in Pennsylvania.  I figured this would be a two-for-one bonus blog post! Alicia joined us…

This afternoon we took our 9-month old blind foal Brynn out to meet our 5-week old blind foal Cash for the first time.  We had planned to do this earlier, but we’re in the "big melt" right now and our corrals are too icy and muddy for these little guys.  (This is our two-week "ick"…

This was the scene from inside Widget’s House this evening, just before we let the dogs in for dinner.  Of course, the anticipation is more than they can stand, so there’s a lot of energy at that front door.  Starting in the lower left, that’s blind Bud staring in the window; old blind Peabody the…
