Shop Dog: Max of Claire Elizabeth Gallery

“We like to say that we have a very ‘modern family,’” she shares. “This started in 2020 when we offered to watch Max and his brother Beau while Mandie was away at legislative session. (Mandie is a State Representative for District 91 in New Orleans.) Very quickly we fell in love with both dogs and realized Max thrived in a home where he was the only dog. I hesitated at first to bring Max to the gallery, because he has a lot of energy, but he took to it like a fish to water. Max is truly a ‘people person,’ so he thrives in an environment where he can visit with people, and the gallery is a perfect place for that.”
