Hi there,
          
          We are so thrilled 
          with our new doggy!  We adopted a male x-shepherd/lab on Tuesday 
          night with Jennifer.  He is settling in well and we are really 
          loving having him here with us.  Thanks for 
          everything.
          
          Here are a few 
          pictures of Lupin making friends with 100 lb Bosco, and his best buddy 
          Madeleine.
          
           
          
          
          
           
          
           
          
          Everyone is amazed 
          at his sweet and gentle nature, he is so eager to learn and has 
          completely stolen our hearts.  I can't imagine ever finding a 
          better little guy to be a part of our family.
          
          Many thanks to the 
          SPCA.
          
           
          
           
          
          
          
           
          Update December '08 ...
          
          Here 
          is an update on Lupin the wonder dog, the LiebaHund extraordinaire.  
          He is still an angel dog, extremely bright and always willing to 
          please.  He is enamoured with the 2 cats, Elly Belly and Waldo; 
          the former tolerates him, the latter unfortunately despises him.  
          But it doesn't get him down, he still wags for Waldo.
           
           
          
          
           
           
          
          He is 
          incredibly gentle, rarely barks, loves to swim, runs with me on 
          country roads and cross country skis on the Mississippi river.  
          We have developed a deep connection that inspires complete confidence 
          in one another and fills each day with joy. He is truly a dream dog.

          shown in studio tours as well as a local gallery.)
