Wendy M., who adopted blind Stoney and blind-and-deaf Baron from us this past summer, just sent us some photos of her two special 'holiday dogs.' Wendy took these photos at her parents' house, where they were decorating the Christmas tree this weekend.
Wendy wrote, "Baron spent most of his time laying by Ms. Mouse and the heater, while Stoney stayed in the living room and begged for Christmas cookies. Finally I got both of them together to pose in front of the Christmas tree. Stoney led the family in a delightful rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful" (you can tell she's really getting into it) but Baron refused to sing and just closed his eyes."
For my part, I think it's amazing Wendy got that side-by-side, look-at-the-camera photo of them -- that never happens for me!
Wendy--I adore you for giving them the perfect home! This is the best gift.

Those are two happy "Holly Dogs"! It's great to see them celebrating the season in their new home. I think they have Wendy trained very well by now. Thanks Wendy for giving those two such a wonderful love filled home & keeping us updated with great photos.
Big warm hugs,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

Happy Holidays Wendy, Baron and Stoney!
May your new year be blessed with good health and many delightful dog days.
Rescue dogs are the best, as Wendy surely knows. Thank you for giving these dogs a wonderful home!
And thank you RDR for enabling this rescue!

It was a highlight of my day going online and voting for the ranch each and every day, knowing that the payoff, although not huge, will make a difference for the animals. Bless you, Steve and Alayne, for your ceaseless dedication to your animal family. You are an inspiration to so many animal lovers.
