🐾 Could the timing be any more perfect?
-
Today is National Dog Day, and we can’t think of a better moment to unleash the September/October issue of Sophisticated Living Lexington.
-
Ande and Lincoln Day grace the cover with their sons, and Goofy the pony and puppy Bruce, photographed at Lane’s End Farm, where Ande is honoring generations of Thoroughbred tradition while opening the gates to a new era of only-in-Kentucky experiences.  Inside the issue, the canine appreciation continues with a visit to Botherum, where Jon Carloftis has cultivated more than an extraordinary home and garden—he’s created a sanctuary where stories, hospitality and a devoted pack of yellow Labradors flourish together.
-
As always, this issue is a tribute to beautiful living, this time made all the richer by the four-legged companions who fill our days with joy.
