See Beautiful-Vintage Christmas Photos with Dogs

I've always loved looking at old photos.   While vintage photos of stars from the golden age of Hollywood are nice, its pictures of ordinary folks that I really love.  If the photo has a dog in it then so much the better. Curious to see what vintage dog Christmas photos I could find I did a search on the net and here is what I came up with:

 I really didn't find that many images, but I love each one I found.  In every photo you can see that the dog is an important part of the family, included in the holiday celebration by helping open presents under the tree, sharing in a holiday feast or being featured on a families card .  I love how relaxed and happy the people  in these photos look, even if some of the dog handling techniques might be questionable (the poor dog in the last photo looks like he might be getting his eye poked!), you can tell these people loved their dogs. 

In fact seeing these photos made me a little sad that I rarely print out my own.  I might have to start doing so because I really like the idea of someone stumbling across a stack of my dog photos someday and wondering who that crazy lady reading to her dogs was.

This is a photo from about five years ago.  I can't believe how young Tubby and Ping look (as well as myself) and the third dog is dear Bingo who passed away four years ago.

  1. So sweet. When I look at an old photo with a pet in it, for some reason it adds such "life" to the photo for me.

  4. These are great. Makes Mom want to go through some old photos of hers. some years ago she went through a box of old family slides and scanned them all and made a memory book for her sister and put all the photos on a disk. Now she can't wait to go home and find some pictures from when she was young
    Thank you for sparking this memory

  6. These are so splendidly charming!!! They make my yearn all the more for the day when Annie finally (lol, assuming she ever does) slows down enough and matures to the point where she's able to pose with us for photos instead of just being an adorable black and white blur. :)

    Joyful holiday wishes to you and your darling pets!
