| All Photos Taken by Dore Callaway BurlapLuxe Home. Nearing the end of blooming season I am getting ready to welcome winters calm and a new addition to our home. |
 |
| The quiet spaces in our home are now filled with little foot prints. |
 |
| Anticipation for her to arrive where we welcomed her home. UnderFoot.... |
 |
| October 16th 2013 9 week old, ITALIAN GREYHOUND my daughter Hannah's favorite breed became her new love and mine too! She had a long flight with lay overs that ended up 10 hours and her flight was too much for her to handle that ended her in the hospital where she barely survived her travel. after a week of nursing her back to health with around the clock care this little girl knew she was loved. |
 |
| Shy and delicate at 1 pound 5oz. Wondering what name we will be calling her. |
 |
| Her breed colour: Blue Fawn, white this means her fawn colour is not true fawn in colour but, a cast of grey to her coat. Her grey eyes are so soulful... Here she is at 12 weeks, in all her grace and beauty. NAME..... |
 |
| Pia Bleu She insist on resting in piles of linens making sure you get her good side. |
 |
| At home with the love Pia Bleu brings, she had no idea how much she needed us and how much we needed her. |
Oh my --she is just precious! What a tiny little thing at under 2 lbs. My parents neighbors have 3 of them. They are such elegant dogs. Enjoy her--she looks so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo freaking cute! My Frenchie will eventually have to make the long flight from Germany to the US and I'm am scared he will have problems especially since he is a snub nosed dog. But he's not a puppy anymore so hopefully it will be okay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a little darling. Have fun. Alaina
ReplyDeleteI can see why you have fallen in love with Pia Bleu - just adorable.
ReplyDeleteWe too have a recent addition to our family M. Hugo who appears to be growing before our eyes. He is just the tonic we all needed - a funny and loving little fellow. Unanimously the family thought that we could never get another feline as wonderful as out last, (who lived a long and very pampered life), but gratefully Hugo has proven us to be wrong.
Bon weekend.
She is so precious Dore... I just love her already... puppy kisses sweet little one!... and I know just what you mean about needing each other... when we rescued our precious Tessy as she was lost and abandoned, little did we know that we needed her just as much as she needed us... God's creatures... I love them all... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteMa chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJ'ai des larmes qui coulent à ce moment; cette chienne si délicate nommée Pia Bleu est parfaite pour vous deux. Une telle chienne - sa couleur (PARFAITE!) et le profondeur de ses yeux nous dit quelques secrets: L'AMOUR NOUS SAUVE LA VIE.
BISOUS BISOUS BISOUS! Anita

ReplyDeleteWe recently had a new addition at our home as well. A cute little black kitty just showed up one day right before Halloween. She was very skittish until she realized she would be loved and now she has so much energy and wants attention...all the time!
Enjoy Pia Bleu

ReplyDeleteDore, Pia is adorable. I am not familiar with the Italian Greyhound breed. Is she going to be a miniature? Congrats on your new arrival! Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteContessa
ReplyDeleteI am sure this can be abbreviated without losing the context.
She is regal, stunning and adorable.
Hi Dore, Finally getting to stop by to see your beautiful new baby girl!!! Pia is a special pup & she has a special mommy & sister. I love her name & I think she was sent from the Heavens above to you both.. she is really very precious & lucky to be surrounded by so much beauty & love. Pia Bleu I love you too!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! And I love the name you chose for her! You are both lucky to have found each other:)
ReplyDeleteOh Dore....what a doll Pia Bleu is! She is just a tiny little bundle of sweetness! I can see why you and your daughter were drawn to that certain breed. There's just something so beautifully exquisite about it. Graceful. Petite. Elegant. She is just perfect for your home! Congratulations, sweet momma! :)
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
She is so precious!!! I'm so glad that you were able to nurse her back to health. Poor thing. She's so tiny. I'm sure that made her condition worse. Good luck with her and enjoy your future together!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet little thing!! She will be well loved for sure! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteSusan
Dear Dore, how wonderful, a new addition to your beautiful home. Little Pia Bleu seems well adjusted already. It is perfect that she is with you, and Hannah.The love we feel for, and from our animals is like no other. It is completely unconditional, just as it should be.I am so happy she is with you! XOXOX Christel
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible beauty! Congratulations! My son wakes up each and every morning and asks when are we getting a dog? The time is not right but soon, we tell him. I understand the anticipation, and the love. I found you today over at must love junk and I am your newest follower. Love, love, love your blog! xoxo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteoooo....sweeeet! she's so lucky...love her little crown!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you know of my love for dogs. This tiny girl its beautiful. Not sure why but she looks to me like a Feu (for the fire inside her to survive that travel).
ReplyDeletehttp://mariaangelique.blogspot.com/
She is a love dear Dore! I love Italian greyhounds. Such sweet dispositions. I had a whippet for years and she always loved being buried in cozy throws too.
ReplyDeleteShe is lucky to have you and Hannah.
hugs from here...
Dearest Dore,
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart...
Pia Bleu is a little piece of heaven that has come to fill your heart with joy.. What a sweetheart she is.. And to sit so still with a CROWN! Sweet!!!!
Love and blessings to you, Hannah and little Pia Bleu.
Penny
Your home is beautiful. I love the crisp clean white! And that salvaged door is amazing!
ReplyDeleteShe is just gorgeous! Pets add so much to a family. So happy for all of you, and glad she is fine in her forever home!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs,

pia bleu....sweet...petite...and full of love. a beautiful addition to your already beautiful family. blessings....
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWWWW!!! Oh my gosh, she is wonderful, just heavenly. I love everything about her. Her soulful eyes, her delicate little body, and she is the prettiest colors. It sounds like she is filling a space in your lives that was feeling empty too. How completely touching and sweet. I can't wait to watch her grow.
ReplyDeleteYour photos here are just gorgeous too. The soft pink roses in the pewter vase are perfect. I think the pink rose petals are probably close to the texture and color of Pia's soft little belly. I love puppy tummies...
Cindy
Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteVotre lévrier est tout "trognon !...
J'adore les photos avec lui.
Gros bisous
merhaba,o'nu da sizi de çok sevdim:)))
ReplyDeleteBless the little dogs heart
ReplyDeleteso glad it survived its long trip to love
Pia Bleu is the perfect name for your new little girl. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks lovely, as always, Dore!

Sending animals in cargo is very risky for them. I suspect you or your daughter now know it is not the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI think you should report the dog's breeder to the local Humane Society.
ReplyDeleteSHe is simply precious! I can see that she will be very elegant as she grows! For the money you paid in vet bills, I bet you could have flown over to get her and placed her under your seat! Next time, that will be the way to go!!! When I was looking for a cavalier King Charles spaniel, a breeder far away insisted that I fly out to get her, and I would have, had I not found a lovely puppy within driving distance! Pia Bleu, that sweet baby will bring much joy!
