:Meet Suki and Newman, the newest canine residents of Desert Breezes. Suki and Newman moved from Whidbey Island, Washington, in December to Via Magellan along with their owners Carol and Dennis Colar. Both Suki and Newman are pure bred boxers. Newman was a rescue dog named after the mail deliverer character on the popular TV series, Seinfeld and will be 9 years old on February 14th. If you remember the character in reference was always met by “Oh Newman” whenever he made an appearance and, as boxers tend to be goofballs the Colar family unanimously voted on the name. Suki was purchased from a breeder and her birthday is November 15, 2020 and she is 2 years old. Suki’s name is Japanese and it means “one who is loved”.
The Colars adore both their dogs and they have had a love of boxers for their entire married life. They were drawn to the playful and goofy nature that this breed demonstrates and their previous boxers were always great companions to their children growing up. Suki and Newman do require a lot of exercise so you will see Carol and Dennis walking the dogs all over the complex greeting neighbors and adjusting to their new environment. The house Carol and Dennis purchased has an exceptionally large side and back yard so the dogs can run and play while safely confined to their own property. The dogs love to eat anything given to them and look forward to their daily Milk Bones treats.
Carol is now retired but her last job was Manager of a Non-Profit organization that provided transportation to seniors in need on Whidbey Island. Dennis still works as a Sales Manager for Parallels, a large software company located in Bellevue, Washington. The Colars are a welcome addition to our community and they look forward to meeting all our residents. When you see Suki and Newman out walking feel free to introduce yourselves and greet the dogs. They may be large but they are just big playful puppies at heart.
