Want to talk about your pet subject?

*If you would like to feature (with your pet) in a forthcoming edition of this regular column, please contact Colleen Morgan at Colleen@MoodieDavittReport.com

The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to bring you the latest edition in our Petsonality Profile column, in association with Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

In this regular fun feature, we discover more about travel retail pet-sonalities, their back stories, traits and habits, as well as offering some insights into their owners. Each pet-sonality is also painted digitally by pets and equine artist Sami Moodie.

In this edition we meet Cabeau CEO David Sternlight and his Boston Terrier Blueberry, a daily visitor to the company’s Los Angeles main office.

 

Name and nickname: Blueberry or Blue.

What breed is Blueberry: She is a Boston Terrier.

How old is she? Blue’s nine-and-a-half years old.

How did you meet? We met Blue as a very young puppy, in a household which had her mother and father as pets and they had just welcomed a litter.

Love at first sight? Oh yes, definitely but more importantly, my son Luca’s love at first sight.

Does Blueberry have any quirky habits? She loves to suckle on plush toys. I think she finds that soothing.

Did someone mention a treat?

Funniest and/or nicest moment? I have a great memory of Blue coming into my room with plush polyfill fuzz all over her face. A ‘Santa Blue’.

And Blueberry’s favourite trick and treat? She will sit for anyone who has a treat for her and she loves cooked beef and salmon.

Social media account? No, I’m afraid not. I wish I had time for that.

If Blueberry could talk what would her first words be? ‘Let’s go for a hike!’

Favourite airport/airline? That would have to be LAX, our home airport, and definitely Delta as our preferred airline.

Blueberry enjoys a snooze in the Cabeau Los Angeles head office

Anything else we should know? Everybody who meets Blue loves her. She’s legendary around our office and building and is here every day. ✈️
