    I just finished reading Full Bloom: The Art and Life of Georgia O'Keeffe by Hunter Drohojowska-Philp.  I highly recommend it.  I posted about Georgia O'Keeffe and her dogs here, but now I know a little more about them.  Her first dog was a standard Black Poodle named Pancho.  When he was killed by a car, a neighbor gave her two blue Chow puppies she named Bo and Chia.  Bo was her favorite, but sadly he was hit by a truck and killed.  But she became devoted to the Chow breed and ended up having six during her lifetime including Bobo, Jinga, and Inca.
