Before and after

In the middle of December, I wrote about Lipton, the flat-coated retriever who badly sprained his wrist whilst jumping off a 3 meter bank into 10 cm of water. I am pleased to report that he has now fully recovered. On the left, he is pictured, on a frozen lake, with his housemate, Bambou.

Lisa and Magda

This oil painting of Lisa and Magda, two Dachshunds, was painted by Volodymyr Rebrov for my old friend PNL. We were at university together. Thanks to Facebook I was able to find him again. This is what he has to say about them: " What can I say about Lisa and Magda? They are sisters, from the same litter, born in Moscow on January 25th 2004. Which means they are coming up to 5. They have a fine pedigree and are looking for a husband! They have travelled with me around Europe, from Moscow to St Petersburg and then to Prague. For the last year they have kept me company (and kept me sane) in Kiev.
