 Charlotte is 4 years old – a “coconut retriever” an affectionate nickname for these dogs rescued from the Carribbean — unfortunately that means that part of how she found her way to her forever home was via a cargo hold airplane trip at 5 weeks old! She has some life long fallout from that trauma and is a special-needs baby. In this photo she is freshly medicated with calming herbs but don’t let that fool you – she’s regularly on edge. That means she is a fantastic guard dog and she does a terrific job alerting her mom to anything and everything going on around the neighborhood! Charlotte’s favorite things: playing with her littermate Edgar, trying to eat the spray of the hose and sitting, belly deep in her kiddie pool.
Suki is 9 year s old (greyhound/shepherd) and has only been at her new home here in Pinehurst for one year. Suki was adopted through Old Dog Haven. She’s a sweet little shadow and satisfies her mom’s need for doing doggy things like taking walks around the neighborhood. Suki’s calm experienced demeanor has helped Charlotte a little bit, but after years of consecutive remedial basic training classes her mom has had to make peace with Charlotte’s limitations at this point.
Suki’s favorite things; to follow her person around (everywhere/all the time) and anything that squeaks. No toy remains intact with her for very long – she enjoys them to the fullest!
