When Alayne and I were taking photos for the spring newsletter recently, I had to chuckle when I saw this shot after my camera finished uploading the images to my computer. Blind-and-deaf Gabe is going to be the "cover model" for this next newsletter, though this is not the photo that will be on the cover! He continues to do great, and other than the hair growth on his face, you'd never know what he had gone through last year.

Please keep voting for the ranch in the Shelter Challenge -- and you can vote every day! We're currently in fourth place and still on track to win $3,000 for the animals, but every vote counts! We just slipped from third place to fourth, so please help round up as many votes as you can so we can stay in the running for the $3,000. Ask your family and friends to vote for the ranch, too!
Enter "Rolling Dog Ranch" and our state postal code, MT, for Montana, and it will bring up our listing.
Vote in the Shelter Challenge here.
Last year we won $3,000 in the first round and then won the $20,000 Grand Prize in the second round, so your votes really do add up and make for a wonderful gift for the animals here.
Thank you!
Gabe you are amazing & look wonderful! You are truly a blessing to have fought the fight you did this past year & come out looking as handsome as ever!!!

You keep talking about the "Spring Newsletter", so when do we get to see it? "Handsome is as handsome does" paraphrasing a famous line from a movie. Gabe certainly has a "cover" dogs looks and poise. Go, Gabe!!!

This picture sure would have worked as a cover pic, too. He sure is a handsome dude!

What wonderful news! Yeah Gabe!!!
I understand that dogs rely on their sense of smell first, before sight or hearing. What a wonderful gift you've given to Gabe. Thank you.
