Update: Gertie, now called Daisy, has been at her forever home for over a year now. Here's a message from her family:
Daisy's fur brother Wolfgang.
Read up on IBR's happily adopted pups. Most of our new dogs have their own dog blog, to which we add updates as they come along. See the list of our happy adopted dog's blogs on the very right---the most recent updated blog links are at the top. (last updated 7/19/08)
Hi Lisa,
Wanted to give you an update as Mark and I moved a few weeks ago. We bought a home in Logan Square. The best part about the home is it is on a 250 ft lot and has a great big fenced yard for Teddy . He is loving his new fenced in freedom!
I've attached some recent pictures of Teddy (our camera has been broken for the past year!). Some of them are in one of my colleague's yard with his dog 'S prite' and the others are in our backyard with my friend's dog 'Vu'.
Hope everything is well with you.
Best,

For a prince like Rupert lying on the grass is unacceptable.
A fun muddy time at Wauconda:Rupert having fun at Wauconda this past Sunday. As you can see in the first pic, he was quick at finding the mud puddle. In the second pic he's trying to get his upper half properly "mudded"
Hi Karen:
We just wanted to touch base with you and wish you a happy spring
season. Here are some current pics of Case and his sisters since we
brought him home. He is doing better. His liver proteins are still on
the high side.
He is just as curious as Savannah and Pearl. Loves to
run around in the snow--the blizzard pic--and take time a curl up with
Pearl. He is our alarm clock in the morning reminding us to get up and
feed him. He won't go out side until he eats. Hope you are feeling
well and this finds you in good spirits.

I don't think I could have asked for a better dog! He's polite, well-mannered, is a total ball-hound and he loves to snuggle on the couch. We went to a neighbor's 4-year-old's birthday party Monday evening and he couldn't have been better. He was calm and let all the kids pet him - no jumping up on anyone. He's greeted several dogs in the neighborhood without any signs of fear or agression - he just wants to play. Yes, he loves the rabbits and squirrels, and he gets easily distracted, but that can all be worked on. I've attached some pics I took on Monday morning. Thanks again for bringing Hans to me.
Regards,
