Last June I posted a photo of blind and deaf Spencer using his sister Katie as a pillow. Well, a couple of days ago I looked out the window and saw Katie using Spencer as a headrest. When they snooze together, inevitably one of them is resting his or her head on the other. They take turns at this. It's just how they do it!
The mess on the other side of the fence is what's left over from when we installed the wood boiler back in late January. Now that the snow has melted, uncovering all the rough ground from the installation site, it's apparent we have some landscaping to do this spring!

The ASPCA $100,000 Challenge -- Last Week For This Round
Our friends at the New Hampshire SPCA "downstate" (as they say here) in Stratham have made it into the qualifying round of the ASPCA's $100,000 Challenge to Save More Lives contest. They are competing to be one of the 50 shelters eligible to participate in the final round of the challenge. This is not a contest for us -- you need to care for a minimum of 1,000 animals during the year to enter. The NHSPCA has made it past the first stage and into the qualifying round, and now they need as many votes as possible to get one of the final 50 spots in the contest. On their behalf, we'd like to ask you to vote for them -- they do wonderful work and we'd like to support their efforts.
The qualifying round of the contest starts Monday, April 4 and runs until April 15 -- and you can vote EVERY DAY in this challenge, too! Please vote for the NHSPCA here.
If you have questions or want to know more about this Challenge, please go to this page. My standard disclaimer: I cannot help with voting issues, troubleshoot, or provide any other assistance for this contest.
LOVE that photo. My girls snuggle like that all the time...

Is it an optical illusion, or are there 3 dogs in this picture? Nice that they cozy up like that! Touch is so important for the blind, isn't it? (And the rest, too, really.)

What a sweet pair! One dog, two bodies. Do they do everything together?? Precious.

When I popped over here to check out the blog and I saw this picture, the first words out of my mouth were "Awwwwwwwww!" Spencer and Katie are so absolutely cute and I love how attached they are to each other!

Man oh man, I do love me some Spencer and Kate!! Wish I could adopt them myself. Their bond touches me so very much. My own sister doesn't like me nearly as much as these two like one another so I am jealous for sure!!
