Believe it or not we are all well and doing just fine. Toby has grown into a fine looking gentleman, 52 pounds and very tall. We are keeping his weight down to help the hip dysplasia and give him glucosamine daily for his arthritis.
We live on the 45th parallel, so have a wonderful variety of seasons here. I am a retired Librarian & Graphic Artist. I watch my youngest grandchild while her Mama goes to work. What a delight! My husband is retired and builds violins as a hobby. He is teaching himself to play. Our dear Maggie died in September of 2013 and we have just got a new Brittany. So great to have a dog again, even though he is a ton of work. We can't ever replace our darling Maggie, but Toby is keeping my mind off her. What a love he is.
