This is Allie, a sleeve pekingese who belongs to my friend, Carol Dunn of Mai~Luvs Pekingese in Oklahoma. I was once blessed with the opportunity to babysit her. Her character and charm can never be copied in a picture but believe me, she is absolutely adorable.

This is Princess. She was rescued from a shelter by my friend Susan. She is a sleeve, weighing 6 pounds and is 4 years old.

She has a new life now and will be doing a photo shoot for a photographer for Leisure Arts in Little Rock where she will be paid for her time.

She is the true sleeve with attitude to match and is very happy in her new home that she shares with her best friend, a peke boy named Gabe who was also in rescue and taken by Susan.

The two pekes would not have been happy apart so they are now the spoiled kids of a very loving mom.
