Vintage Dog Collection



It certainly is no secret that I love dogs.  I especially love terriers, not only
the real ones but the vintage collectible ones too.  I have a few vintage
dog prints and I decided to group them together with my chalk dog 
and a basket full of hydrangeas.








This grouping is now in the master bedroom atop an old highboy
dresser.  Just makes me smile.



Bentley and I are working on a children's book together 
in addition to my novel.  The idea came to use while we
were going for our evening walk together.  Bentley likes
the idea because he is the main character ;-)


Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    1. Bentley and I had a little discussion about the idea last night. I knew that he approved by the way he rested his chin on my arm and listened to each and every word.

    1. Thanks Kim. I have spent time as a both an elementary school teacher and as a volunteer storyteller for the community. It's about time I wrote my own book ;-)

  8. Lovely! I am a big fan of terriers also, and enjoy collecting vintage pictures of them also. Yours are wonderful. A Bentley book would be a great read. Jane
