Wendy M., who adopted blind-and-deaf Baron and blind Stoney from us a year ago, just sent some new photos of her dynamic duo. She took them on a family outing last weekend for a group camping adventure. There was a dog costume show on Saturday morning with a new category called "Best Blind Dog." Since there were only two present, the odds were pretty good that one of them was going to win ... and it was Baron, wearing a butterfly costume.
Stoney was dressed up as Supergirl:
Finally, Wendy sent this entry for our "big dogs in little spaces" collection ... Stoney trying to squeeeeeze into Wendy's chair:
Wendy said, "She insists on sitting as close to me as possible ... even if that means she's really uncomfortable!"

In my brief post yesterday on Twitter, I said you'd need to sign up with Twitter to view our page. Egads, I was mistaken. Somehow I recalled being prompted to sign up before I could view someone else's Twitter page. But Kate commented on that post: "Steve -- People don't have to sign up to follow you. They can either go to the web page and read what you are saying or they can sign up with using a news reader (RSS). If someone wants to message you through Twitter, they do have to sign up."
She's right. Sorry to have misled you on that subject!

Wendy thank you for continuing to keep us updated on these 2 wonderful kids. I love how many different, fun things you do to make their lives so special. You are truly blessed to have them in your life as they are to have you!
Love the costumes, they are hilarious. It should have been a tie!!
Love the picture of Stoney sitting with Wendy! Yup, Stoney believing I am little, I am little, I am little.

Glad to see someone else's black lab does that--my Lucy will put herself in most awkward position to sit on my lap, head, etc. it's nice to be loved though!
Twitter-exciting, I just started to follow u! Great way to spread word about your good & important work for animals!

Ha, ha, ha...I've never posted a comment, but I have to this time!
Wendy, I'm sorry, but it's a good thing Stoney and Baron are both blind. Otherwise they might look in the mirror and freak out at what their "mom" is dressing them up in! :O)
Great pictures...and a wonderful life these two have been given. THANK YOU for sharing!

It's so nice to see photos of the adopted dogs and cats. We appreciate you sharing them.
Love the twitter thing. Your brief comments during the day give a new dimension to our understanding of your daily chores. And I also look forward to meeting the new kid you mentioned in a "tweet".
Yes, everyone, keep voting and use different browsers. I've got three and tonight as I voted the animals used to verify my vote were a lion, a tiger, and a bear! (Oh, my!) If you can vote at home and at work, do that too!
