I was waiting impatiently tonight at 9:15 p.m. for Google Video to finish processing a short clip I had uploaded 30 minutes ago when Alayne came into my office and motioned me towards the front door. A few minutes earlier we had "emptied the house," as we call it, putting everyone outside for their last pit stop before bedtime.
As usual, we got the "Who, me?" look from most of the dogs. They prefer to hang around the front door, not convinced it's really bedtime until either Alayne or I step outside to start putting them up in their cottages. So this was the collection still waiting for us to come out. I grabbed the camera and took the photo.
And since I am still waiting on Google Video -- a rare glitch for them -- to process the clip I was planning to post on the blog tonight, I thought I'd use this photo instead.
That's deaf-and-blind Spinner on the far left, little Bailey the mini Doxie, behind him big blind Helen, then Birdie who has muscular dystrophy, Belvie the new mini Doxie, and wobbly Soba the Collie mix. Up on the step is Daisy the mini Doxie, blind Callie the plump Doxie by the door, blind Willie the Beagle, and three-legged Cody hogging the entire landing. Off camera to the right was Nevada the blind puppy, blind Brody, blind Evelyn and who-knows-who-else?

my goodness that's a lot of dogs!!! i was wondering if you ever need to take them out for walks, or if the wide open space on the ranch and the freedom they have gets them the exercise and playtime they need???
and cash and allie are adorable with those tricky maneuvers they've developed. they must think they really are clever...and they are!! :)

The caption for that photo should be "A whole lotta love" with apologies to Led Zepplin. I think it fits that pic rather well. They love you two so well they just want to stick around! What a bunch of sweetie pies!
Big hugs to all,
ginger & Tobias

What a great family shot! I absolutely love it!
They all look like they put in a productive day at the ranch; sleeping, sniffing out trouble in the tall grass, supervising people tasks. Now it's time to turn in and start again tomorrow.

I guess of there was a puddle on the floor there would be alot of finger pointing at your place!
I have only 3 rescue dogs, and 3 in foster care, we all laugh at the same thing. Who me? That is exactly what its like.
Best wishes to you both. And I read your uplifting blog every day. Thankyou.
