As a Christmas gift for the dogs, a wonderful friend and supporter of the sanctuary sent a box of 40 Lambiedoodles -- a soft chew toy sheep with a squeaker inside. That's one Lambiedoodle for every dog! We handed them out on Christmas Day, and here are some of the photos we took Christmas night. That's Bailey above, looking terribly guilty with his Lambiedoodle. Definitely a Dachshund-in-the- headlights look there.
Here are blind Goldie and Belvie, each giving their Lambiedoodles a work-over:
And not to be outdone, here's Birdie with her sheepie friend:
I'm pleased to report that on the day after Christmas, there were still some Lambiedoodles left!
Happy New Year to you and yours. God Bless all the creatures great and small !!

They all look so content and peaceful - well, except for Bailey's deer-in-headlight look. What a sweet moment at the Ranch! Thank you so much for sharing their (and your) holiday cheer. Happiest of holidays to you, Alayne, and all the RDR residents!

Those doggies and the lambradoodles make me giggle. Oh so cute! Thanks Rolling Dog Ranch for giving these doggies such a wonderful life :-)

The Lambiedoodles never had a chance...

I love the dog and lambiedoodle slide show. Thank you for the great doodle box; I'm sure the dogs will be squeaking up a good time until things start to get ugly and the squeaker, um...fall out! ha....ha....

What great pics of some of the RDR dogs enjoying the lambiedoodles! Belvie's hair certainly is nice & shiny! Thanks go out to the suporter who made sure that each of the dogs got a great Lambiedoodle to play with!
Hugs to all,

*What* an expression on Bailey's face! :D It's priceless. Isn't Bailey the one who keeps trying to eviscerate poor Mr. Caterpillar?
These are wonderful pictures! I was especially glad to see my favorite darling, Birdie.

What a wonderful Christmas for the dogs with all of their Lambiedoodles! Bailey does look somewhat guilty!
