Flirts -Postcard Friendship Friday #420

These two are SO sweet--as do most people who companion with dogs--there is a great resemblance between the two.

This month we honor dogs and their owners.  This postcard seemed just perfect.

Isn't this a charming advertisement?  In the tradition of Art Nouveau, this graceful girl and her loving friends bring a smile to my face.

Today is the beginning of summer and time outside in the sun with our furred and feathered friends.  How grateful I am for their loving companionship.

National Dog Day - Postcard Friendship Friday #78

 

When I was a little girl I had a stuffed Cocker Spaniel I named Fluff.  Fluff still lives--in a keepsake box full of childhood treasures.  I've had many dog friends over the years.  It is a compliment when I say our little cat, Princess Twinkle Toes, has dog characteristics.  I would never tell her, so Shhhhhh...."

Just this morning I saw the news article of a dog named Hawkeye, who, even as Navy Seal Jon Tumilson, lay in his coffin during his memorial service -- would not leave his master's side.  Poignant, amazing and incredible is the love of a Dog. 

In the United States, National Dog Day has two goals.  The first is to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse.  The second is to honor dogs for all that they do for us. In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind. Dogs aid in search and rescue, some seek out bombs and drugs. Others can sniff out cancer, still others protect citizens as they serve on the police force in k-nine units.

National Dog Day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation. Their motto is "Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time".  To learn more about this wonderful group, contact the National Dog Day Foundation.

* NOTE: You don't have to stick to the theme I choose each Friday. Just put up the postcards you love and tell us why you like them! Have fun everyone!
