Little Girls and their dogs,a Saint Bernard,Pug Borzoi Dachund. Victorian Paintings and tinted photograph. Free clip art.

     Aside from not getting the things done that need to be done I had a fun day. My three sisters and I are planning my moms 80th birthday party for next March. It has been so much fun talking and brain storming. We all bring something different to the table and so far it has been a blast.Margie,Cathy and Lynn all live close to each other in So.Cal. So I am the out of town'er. Lynn is in charge of decorating and called me long distance so we "shopped" together on her cell phone. Cathy is so fun and is coming up with so many ideas. She keeps things moving which I need! My contribution is to make a special family gift full of memorable events in my mom's life.
Just in the itty bitty chance my mom reads this I will always refer to it  as "the project". When it is done I will reveal it to all of you. There is no way this project and its progress could not be mentioned on my blog.  Thought you should be warned:)! 
    Oh my gosh. I need to find pictures of birthday parties!  Something new to search for!
Now some images for dog lovers. That's an easy and appropriate theme to follow the cat post! The pictures feature Saint Bernards, Dachshund Borzoi and  Pug breeds. One breed I don't recognise.





Thanks for visiting and following my little blog.
Much love to you all, Louise!

Arthur John Elsley paintings English countryside children playing with their dogs and cats.

A second posting for you today!
Puppy dogs, fuzzy kittens and happy children in charming paintings by Arthur John Elsley. 1860-1952. His  idyllic scenes of happy families and their pets in the English countryside are so engaging. I have been collecting his pictures and will post more in the future. Just sharing images that I am drawn to. These are only shown as examples of the artist and are not posted as clip art. Enjoy them only and thank you for stopping by.
Love, Louise
