I'm going to take a "blog break" over the holidays and will resume posting the first week of January.
Before I go, here's a link to a story in the Missoulian today about the ranch winning the Shelter Challenge. It was written by a reporter at the Helena Independent Record, but for some reason isn't posted on that paper's site yet; it appeared in the Missoulian both in print and online this morning.
On behalf of all of us at the ranch, two-footed and four-footed alike -- oops, blind Helen says "don't forget about us three-footed ones!" -- we'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Looking forward to the resumption of blog posts - I start my work day with them!
