Napa Valley dogs: Ruby and Buster Brown

First off, wow, sorry this post is 5 days overdue! I am deep in the swing of photo shoots, art commissions, print orders and studio consults with clients. The holiday work has officially began, and like every year at this time, I am very very busy! Christina has her work cut out for her today with emails. :-)

My final California pooches I want to share with y’all are the sleek and gorgeous supermodel Ruby and her adorable ‘little’ brother Buster Brown. I photographed them at boutique winery David Fulton in St. Helena and we had a fantastic time. 

Ruby greyhound- retired racer.

Ruby and her little brother Buster the basset in front of the David Fulton Winery. Their parents drove them all the way up to Napa Valley from Orange County for our shoot. I felt so deeply honored!

It’s hard to believe but Buster was in a shelter near his southern California home for 4 MONTHS before he was adopted by his parents. He is a lucky boy now as they love him dearly. He is a daddy’s boy and 100% lovebug.

For those who don’t know, retired racing greyhounds make the very best pets. Believe it or not, most greyhounds are total couch potatoes, preferring to laze their days away in various reclined positions. They are the sweetest companions out there, and Ruby is no exception to this.

We held a couple of races in the vineyards. Who do you think won? hee hee

    I just want to smoosh Buster’s face and give him a big ol’ kiss on the snoot. He is too much!
    You’re so right about greyhounds- I have a friend who is 86 years old whose best girl is a retired racer. They are perfect together.
    Love these shots!

    I was starting to wonder if there were any long dogs in the U.S. Such a pretty and enigmatic Greyhound. I love the light in Napa, so different to here in England.
