Message:: [QUOTE="reader, post: 7251356, member: 255"]Right…My poodle covers his ears if we talk about these as I do love the ceramics. There’s a fabulous estate to visit for those interested in this world (if you haven’t been) in Mexico City. It’s the estate of Delores Olmedo who was a patron (cough cough) to Diego Rivera. Her collection of DR and FK is fabulous but the estate itself is amazing and she’s (I believe) the one who brought the Xoloitzcuintle back from near extinction. The dogs are still being bred there (at least when I was there 5 years ago) and I remember the sign talking about them at their outside pen. The signage said how incredibly friendly they are. Maybe so, but I stood there for about 20 minutes and consider myself a dog person (and cannot live without a dog) but I couldn’t get any to interact with me. Here’s a pic of the dogs, the Olmedo prehistoric west coast shaft tomb collection. I would so love just one… And a few more of the estate and found the sign LOL![ATTACH=full]422186[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]422184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422183[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]422183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422184[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422185[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]422186[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
