Meet Toby!
Although pets are not allowed in guest areas of The Steamboat House in Galena, we have always had an adorable dog in our own quarters.  Guests love visiting our fluffy friend and many look forward to seeing him.  We recently lost our best friend, Barney, and it was a very sad day for the inn.
3 weeks ago, we brought home Toby, another Havanese puppy, who is filling our lives with joy.  On Monday, we will bring home Louie, Toby’s littermate.   Stop by the Steamboat house soon and visit with both our new “boys”.  Below is a photo of Toby; pictures of Louie will be posted soon!
