It was July 2008 when Suave came to us from Hemopet, the Greyhound adoption facility in Garden Grove, CA. As you can see from the shots below, our former racer has settled into an active retirement in Newport Beach. Well, not too active.



Mamie & Suave during a photo shoot on January 4, 2009. Time out for a hug.
When you have a love like this, what else matters?






Mamie and Her Suave
Christmas 2008





Suave showing his bedroom eyes. This dog is charming!

Suave happy to be with his mama.

"Hey, mama, you're making me look like an Afgan.
And what's with the high heels on my collar?"

"I'm doing just fine. I have a new collar and a teddy bear of my own. That is, when the Min Pins aren't trying to steal it. I let 'em. They're cute."

Sofie in the background, waiting for a chance to steal the teddy bear.
