Indigo had a beautiful day yesterday here at the show grounds at Maleny, QLD

While mum and her good friend Narelle enjoyed catching up on the last three years, together, I played with Narelle’s two-year-old granddaughter Jessica.

Here is a book available through Fishpond that has some beautiful images of children and dogs.

The Best Dog in the World Vintage Portraits of Children and Their Dogs

By Donna Long

Packed with gorgeous sepia-toned photographs, this is a timeless tribute to loyal canine companions and the kids who adore them. Historian and dog lover Donna Long's insightful text provides a window into the lives of children during this golden age, while her notes about their loyal fur friends shed light on the rising popularity of familiar breeds (as well as good old-fashioned mutts). From precious pugs to regal retrievers, this rare collection of portraits is a sweet, poignant, and captivating testament to the abiding love between children and their dogs. Did you know? The Pekingese was never seen outside China until 1860, when British soldiers brought four of them back to Britain, where they were an immediate sensation. Also until about 1900, it was usual to dress infants and toddlers, girls and boys, in dresses.
