Back in November, I posted a "cheek by jowl" photo of blind Briggs sleeping with his face buried under blind Madison's head. Apparently it doesn't really matter to him which end of Madison he's sleeping next to ... as long as she's warm and close, he's happy!

Already In 3rd Place!
The new Shelter Challenge started on Monday, January 10th, and ends at midnight on March 20th. Grand prize in this round is $5,000. There are no second- and third-place prizes this time, but new categories ... please see the Shelter Challenge website for details.
Their site says Best Friends is not eligible to win the Grand Prize in any of the 2011 Shelter Challenge contests because they were the "Challenge Champion" in 2010, having won the most total votes during the year, so that gives us a shot again at winning first place!
And remember, you can vote every day, so consider bookmarking the voting page to make it easy.
You can vote in the Shelter Challenge here.
Please note: Use Rolling Dog Ranch for our name and NH for the state and our listing will come up.
Because of your votes, we came in 2nd nationwide and won $5,000 in the Shelter Challenge that ended in December 2010. Please help us win this round of the contest by voting every day, and by encouraging your family, friends and colleagues to vote every day, too. Thank you!
I hope you're still giving Madison an occasional ride in the ATV. Those are some of my favorite stories.

My cats, 15 & 18, sometimes sleep together like this too. Especially on cold days. What are the RDR cats up to these days?? Are there any left at RDR?

Just means so much to see the comfort and loving social group you provide all these pups that didn't have it... my heart is smiling, :)

Briggs is a very lucky guy having Madison for a friend who doesn't mind him snuggling close. I'm sure she is enjoying this closeness as much as he is.

Love that picture. My dogs will sleep that way together sometimes and it's so cute to see how comfortable they are together, just like Briggs and Madison.
Steve, what other categories can we vote for RDR in aside from the main one? Would be happy to vote in as many categories as I can!
PLEASE keep voting everyone. Use more than one browser if you have them!

How fitting to follow up Briggs and Madison's Cheek by oel picture with this Cheek by Cheek shot. They make a darling couple.

Very dangerous position, Brigg's might be blind but his nose still works, let's hope Madison didn't have beans for supper!!!
