ICONIC PEGGY GUGGENHEIM & HER FURRY FAMILY
A fascinating life filled with art and fur!
The iconic Peggy Guggenheim was an American art collector and socialite. As a self-described "art addict," she dedicated her life to supporting art and the artists of her time. She collected art from all over the world and exhibited her collection in 1949 at The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, her modern art museum in Venice.
Her collection, which is valued above all the current billionaire art collectors of our present time has art masterpieces ranging in style from cubism and surrealism to abstract expressionism and has become one of the most visited cultural attractions in Venice.
Peggy Guggenheim had another love other than arts; dogs. Especially the breed of Lhasa Apsos. She lived out her days in the company of 14 Lhasa Apso dogs. Cappuccino, Peacock, Sir Herbert, Hong Kong, Gypsy, Emily, Butterfly, Baby, and more...

I, too, have had Lhasa Apsos for 40 years. My experience began on a fall afternoon on October 22, 1983. There is no pet more comforting or loving than a Lhasa. They are lazy, preferring a stroller ride pushed by mommy as opposed to a walk. I have had six in this time as Lhasas, when well-cared for, are long lived. They enjoy soft music, travel, relaxing with their family, being pampered, and told how beautiful they are. They are worth the daily grooming, weekly baths, and dental care a Lhasa mom provides. I have never regretted the time spent on their care as their appreciation is more than enough reward.
