Shelby just sent me this photo of all three blind and deaf ones snoozing together ... Spencer on the left, Manny in the middle and Katie on the right. She had tiptoed into the house at lunch to get the photo with her phone. When she wrote me the email, she said, "At the moment I've got Katie in my lap and Spencer is sleeping beside me with Manny. I think it's safe to say they're settling in."

Weekly Winner and $1,000 for the Animals!
Yes, the Shelter Challenge people finally posted the weekly winners for Weeks 4 and 5 (at the same time), and we -- or I should say, you -- won $1,000 for the animals here! Thank you so much! We thought we had won it a couple of weeks ago when we got a few emails from people congratulating us for the win, but the Shelter Challenge had not posted any results past Week 3 ... so we were reluctant to say anything. I gather the Animal Rescue Site must send out an email of some sort, but I don't know why they don't update their page at the same time. In any case, the check for $1,000 also just arrived and is now in the bank. Thank you for all your dedicated voting to benefit the animals at Rolling Dog Farm!

The new Shelter Challenge started Monday, January 9 and ends at midnight on March 18. Grand prize in this round is $5,000, plus $1,000 for weekly winners and $1,000 for state winners. There are also other categories ... please see the Shelter Challenge website for details.
*** We are now LISTED UNDER OUR NEW NAME, ROLLING DOG FARM. State is still NH for New Hampshire. ***
Please remember, you can vote every day ... consider bookmarking the voting page to make it easy.
We just won $1,000 as a weekly winner for Week 4 in this current contest, and thousands more in the previous contests. The Shelter Challenge really does bring in a lot of money for the animals here!
You can vote in the Shelter Challenge here.
What a wonderful update! So glad Manny now has such good buddies & all of them are in a loving home.

It's simply great to see how relaxed and content Katie & Spencer are in their forever home with Shelby & Manny.:-)
Thank you so much for sharing this adorable picture with all of us!

This is why you "let sleeping dogs lie". It's so relaxing to watch. They are not only adorable, they are beautiful as well.

Congratulations on the weekly win! I am so happy for you and the animals. I know you can always use the extra money for so many things. Great way to start my weekend reading your posting on the blog

OMG! How cute is that! We all know from the blogs just how cute and sweet Katie and Spencer are, BUT Mr. Manny also looks like an absolute sweetheart as well. I could just squeeze them all :) (Except for the fact that my Chichuhua would NEVER allow that to happen)!!! So I am sending vitual hugs and kisses!
Thanks for sharing them with us Shelby and kudos to you for giving three disabled dogs a wonderful home!
Do you ever get updates on that lovebug Herbie??? Love the updates on the adopted animals :)

Now there's a dog pile...a very comfortable one at that! What a great picture that brought a much needed smile to my face. Thanks, Shelby, for bringing Spencer and Katie into your and Manny's lives!

Awe...a Manny sandwich! Manny has obviously needed these two in his life. This is really heartwarming to see....thanks Shelby.

Yay! Spencer and Katie together again. Sure, there's a Pug in the middle, but Manny looks quite content to be snuggled by a couple of Dachsunds. Who wouldn't? Thank you, Shelby, for adopting the whole group. They do look "settled in."

It just can't get better than this photo. Love to all those little guys and kudos to their new family.
Posted by: Mary H. | February 17, 2012 at 06:41 PM
That's a beautiful sight! I'd say the settling-in process is complete.
Posted by: Tonya Allen | February 17, 2012 at 06:13 PM
What a sandwich you have there Manny!
Thank you Shelby for obliging us with this picture and update. My heart is completely reassured now.
Love to you all!

Happy Sleeping to 3 little darlings! - I know they are having good dreams.
Posted by: Angela | February 17, 2012 at 11:44 AM
That is just about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. How lovely for Manny to have good friends who can totally relate to him. I'm so glad everyone found each other!
