I am partial to dogs. My dog, Ellie, is a mix of beagle and coonhound. We got
her about 8 years ago through a rescue organization. We chose her over other siblings because she had been named Casey (serendipidity) and she was the runt of the litter. (My personal weakness) She has been a great family dog. But
because she has a double dose of hound dog her nose takes her places and she
has gotten out of our yard more times than I care to count.

I'm partial to dogs too Jil. Our hound Jed (from a shelter like your Ellie) most resembles the pic from Partfalae - maybe that's the reason it's my favourite pic, although I do like that Great Dane on the LGB too.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! What great dogs!!! I grew up w-them, but currently have couple cats, who will occasionally chase a ball ;) I also love vintage children's books. I'm an illustrator working on some dog stories of my own at moment, very fun, but hard to do well. I'm so glad I found your blog for fun & inspiration from the greats!
