Klee is on her way home tonight and tomorrow night we have a new foster dog arriving. We'd like to introduce handsome O'Keefe. We don't know much of his story - just that he was surrendered to the shelter when his family decided to move to a place that doesn't allow pets. His age is about 2-3 years old, he weighs 22 pounds and he looks to be a purebred Rat Terrier.
He's a handsome, athletic guy and on top of all those good looks he's house trained as well! O'Keefe's been staying in a temporary foster home for the last two weeks after he was sprung from the shelter and we actually already have an applicant who he seems like he would be a good fit for. So wish him luck. He may be heading home fairly soon!
O'Keefe is of course named for the well known artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, although we dropped the double "f". O'Keeffe is an extremely well known artist and is considered the "Mother of American Modernism". She was dedicated to painting imagery that expressed what she called the "wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it." I highly recommend a visit to the
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico if you are ever in the area. You can also tour her home and studio,
Ghost Ranch, in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
