Sophie's Choice

Some dogs choose their own masters. Masters choose their dogs.With Sophie- there could be no other master. I like to say the dogs that are rescued have been temporarily misplaced- as owner of Moses, there will be other dogs-but never again Moses. The same can be said of Sophie.

Sophie is her dog- my dearest of friends, Now that Sophie has found her- her world seems complete.

This is Sophie's choice.

  3. Who is the stunning blond hair model in your picture? She is just gorgeous! Whoever owns this house has so much style! I love her dog Sophie just as much as you do! Sophie is just as elegant looking as the model. To be a fly on the wall....I would love to know more about the glamorous life of this stylish maven!

  13. The art in this home is perfect. From the kuba cloths,the Elliott Puckette drawing,the Madonna, the children's drawing to the gray four legged one, All just perfect.

  14. A truly soulful home. I love, Love the kuba cloth. And the Elliott Puckette with the silver, the mother of pearl table -- just so many favorites. I still think the Imperial Trellis on the settee works beautifully too. What really grabs me above all though is the striking portrait at the top of the post. Amazing.
