Dog books
Do you collect books? J1 collects cookery books and books on WFTs. I also collect books but as I have rather a low attention span I prefer perusing through photo collections.
I was delighted when I received this book for Christmas:
In this book Catherine Johnson has collected an assortment of black and white amateur photos of dogs from the turn of the century to the early 1950s. The photos show dogs in family portraits, at play, in humorous poses and just being themselves.
Naturally, I looked to see how many WFT photos there are; not many, but of course they're all rather good.
What's going on here? It looks like the dog is holding a WFT toy but he doesn't look too happy though, does he?
This poor dog looks as though he's had rather a severe haircut. He's all nekkid apart from his front legs and beard!

Mom loves books like that with old pictures in them. She has some Boxer books but not a ton. She needs a Sherman book...I need to start writing.

Jx,
Wow sounds you are knowledgeable. Quite enjoy browse your photos collection.
Maybe that was the "IN" hairstyle for WFTs at that time.

Hi Jackson
I don't like reading books .. I enjoy eating them !!!
Love from Hammer
I'm a fan of books too, Jackson. Books with no photos actually taste the best, but I like a good photo book myself!
Goober love,

Jax,
You look so smart in the first picture.
