What a beautiful  picture! This is  a wonderful friend, Michelle Dimonaco, with the newest addition to her family, Ludo. Ludo is a very special  chocolate Labrador Retriever who has come to live with Michelle.  He was born on November 25th and is pictured here at his  first Puppy Plan   appointment on February 1, 2002, when he weighed 17 pounds. Ludo is going to be a big boy! Michelle tells us that he is really fitting in well at home, learning his potty-training lessons quickly, and that he is really a super dog! We are so happy that these two  have become such good friends so quickly - he is going to be a beautiful, devoted family member!
