Sit, Liberty......

Back in the summer, we had the ... privilege... of adopting, or being adopted by, a hound dog. Now, we live in the country, so it's not that unusual having a stray dog here or there, or even having hound dogs around. We don't know where he came from, but my wonderful husband said " why don't you feed him, and we'll see if he's here in the morning" ... Those proved to be famous last words. 

We contemplated naming him after he was still there a week later. Names of former pets were remembered.. Churchill, Akita, Owe-n. According to my family, he had to have an unusual, historic name. And my husband had an "Eureka" moment. 

One of his favorite Saturday Night Live sketches is of Chevy Chase playing Gerald Ford. In this particular one, Ford's dog, " Liberty" is portrayed by a porcelain pooch. My husband being the prankster he is, suggested we honor that memory. It stuck. 

Liberty

Liberty's a sweet dog. He's all hound, and mostly muscle. My nephew is still learning the finer points of training a puppy- and Lib's ALL puppy. 

But the Liberty Legacy didn't end there. We now have a family website where the boys, and my Darling spouse can play, muse, and post photos of their own. www.sitliberty.com is the Family Site. It's a work in progress, as are we all, but I'm told there will be more photos, links, and who knows what else, come up there. 

Hope you enjoy it!
