Description
"Golden Retrievers at the Blue Swallow Motel" by Catherine Sherman.
A Golden Retriever mother and her puppy share a touching moment in the parking lot of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico.
The Golden Retriever is a very friendly and intelligent dog and is one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S. Golden Retrievers excel at retrieving game for hunters, tracking, sniffing out drugs, and as therapy and assistance dogs. They’re also natural athletes, and do well in dog sports such as agility and competitive obedience.
The Blue Swallow Motel has been serving travelers along the Route 66, the Mother Road, since 1939. Here is a view of the exterior of Rooms 10 and 11, adorned by a blooming lilac bush. The motel is a 12-unit L-shaped motel listed on the National Register of Historic Places in New Mexico as a part of historic U.S. Route 66. Original architectural features included a facade with pink stucco walls decorated with shell designs and a stepped parapet, on-site office and manager's residence and garages located between the sleeping units for travelers to park their cars.
