I have a thing for dogs.
The live fluffy kind, of course, but also the statuesque kind.
China dogs . . .
Celluloid dogs . . .
Toy dogs (I think this is Tramp, from Lady And The Tramp) . . .
Dogs permanently mounted to ash trays . . .
my husband's cough drops, gum and toe nail clippers that are normally thrown in here)
Even dogs that have been beheaded and made into bottle openers . . .
And apparently, I am not the only person in love with dog things.
In the spring issue of Flea Market Style magazine, dogs was one of the top ten collecting finds this year. Can you believe that!!!
Just call me cutting-edge-Pam.
BTW, I went to an estate sale today and they were selling quite a few dog figurines. For $15 a piece! Are you kidding me? Seemed a little steep, but maybe they had just read Flea Market Style magazine too and thought there might be a run on the dogs.
Have you caught the dog collecting bug?

The husband keeps telling me we need to get another dog! Think if I started collecting lovelies like these, he'd be content? LOL I love your collection, Pam. I will keep a look out for some next time I'm out and about 🙂 Sue

OMG!!! Stupid me. Why didn't I stop by sooner? Today, I stopped by a thrift shop in a different town. They had dogs!!! Many... oh, so many. Are you looking for any more in particular?
Have a great Sunday 😉

Me too. I love dogs. I have had four little friends in my life. Three have gone now. Stella my current rescue. She is an eight year old frenchie. Love her.
Then currently at the Good Will I have picked up pictures and statues of my little friends.
You can't believe how excited I was to find you. Love me

Love the doggies! You made me grin about the nail clippers and cough drops. At my house add wire nuts and tie wraps. LOL
My daughter and one of my best friends both collect dogs, so I've let them be the Queens of Doggie Collections in my life.
Good luck with the BlogHer ads. I can't seem to stay on a regular blog update schedule to even consider something like that, although I'd like to. You spoke the truth when you said it takes time and resources.

I saw that too. I have a collection of dogs too. But I know I didn't pay that much for any of them.
Except maybe the real, warm fuzzy ones, haha.

Just found your blog and really enjoy reading your comments and the pix. dogs are my favorites but at this point only have grand dogs which we are called upon to "babysit" often!
