 Libby's Story
LITTLE LIBBY, HAPPY AT LAST
All
of our WIN dogs are special, but every now and then one comes along
that is truly exceptional. Libby was such a dog.
Her owners were in the process of divorcing. The family home
was about to be sold, and they felt that Libby would be better off
in a more stable home environment.
Even though she was a little over two years
old, Libby was still very much a puppy. Despite her severe
summer haircut that made her look more like a Parson Russell
Terrier, it was apparent from Libby’s behavior that she was 100%
Wheaten. She had a friendly, outgoing demeanor and
quickly stole the hearts of all who met her. She played well
with other dogs and was friendly with children. I knew that it
would not take long for her to be adopted.
 When the Creran family came to meet Libby, they
immediately succumbed to her charms, as others before her had done.
They were anxious to adopt her, but we all knew that the final
decision was up to the Boss – the Crerans’ 18-month-old Wheaten
Benny. We arranged to do a homecheck the following afternoon,
and to introduce Libby to her prospective new brother. To
everyone’s great relief, the two dogs got along extremely well.
From watching Libby playng with Benny and
interacting with the Crerans’ daughters, I knew that I had found the
perfect home for Libby. She was too busy “hamming it up” for
her new family to care very much that I was leaving without her.
They say that a picture is worth a thousand
words. This photograph of Libby and her new family
proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this story had the best
possible ending. We all hope that Libby and the Crerans will
have many years of happiness together.

UPDATE: (Jan. 04)
Libby's new mom wrote to me
recently to tell me how well Libby has fit into their household,
and how much they are enjoying her. Her coat has grown back and
she has blossomed into a beautiful Wheaten. As you can see
from this photo, she is one very happy and well-loved dog.
