Cleo’s Corner
Our “Sweet Girl” Cleopatra
Cleopatra is our ten year old Black Labrador Retriever. Born on October 11th 2002 along with her five brothers, her name suits her to a tee and make no mistake she does think she’s the queen. She has a special way about her and clearly knows how to captivate an audience with her beauty and grace. The Cabernet Inn has been her home for the majority of her life, she loves sitting perched on the back deck looking out at her domain. Jessica & Bruce have learned over time that guests stay at the Inn just to meet Miss Cleo, and return year after year to shower her with gifts.
Cleo’s main responsibility is to supervise her people, greet the guests and take part in the daily chores. She loves to sample the goodness that comes from the kitchen, play fetch, bury her face in the snow, meet new people and learn new tricks. Her three favorite past times are hiking in the White Mountains, swimming in the Saco River and spending time with her mom and dad.

Lab Fact: What makes a Lab unique? Many retrievers have Newfoundland and spaniels in their backgrounds, and all were bred to aid hunters in retrieving game. Labrador Retrievers, however, are unique in that they were first discovered in Newfoundland, a chillier and icier climate than the British Isles, where most other retrievers were probably developed. Labs have a shorter coat than some other retrievers, which prevents ice from clinging to the coat when the dog exits the water.
