Pictures from the last century!

I'm so chuffed. I was footling around in a drawer this afternoon and found a whole lot of ancient slides I didn't know we had, and many of which I can hardly remember. Have had a great time trying to look at them and have scanned and saved a few (more to do later)

here is Lassie - our very first dog, from a rescue, got her in about 1974 and I think these pics will be from then or 75 as there don't appear to be any kids around.

Sorry they are HUGE - I'll try & fiddle but hope you can see them OK. Edit: - Hope this has worked - are they smaller? Yes! Hurrah!
Don't I look young ? Ho hum!

What lovely, happy, sunny pictures!!!

And how about a 'now' pic to enable us to judge whether you did actually look young

She was a lovely dog Kazz. We picked her out and took her home (no home checks or third degrees in those days. We both worked full time but I walked home at lunchtime to take her out), gave her a bath (she stank) or three and took her off to the rugby. She loved the clubhouse and was unable to sit still for 2 seconds.
She was a good old stick. Coped with a resident cat and the arrival of others and the arrival of children and a staffie pup. Only thing she did wrong was vanish when we were on country walks during the pheasant season. We would just wait for her - sometimes up to 2 hours!

Did you notice she only has a half tail - goodness knows what happened.

And she would scream if I ever suprised her with a brush/mop ... i learned to make sure she saw me picking it up.

I noticed the tail but thought it was the way the picture was taken - I lost a leg for Oscar once

It amazes me that it often seems the animals with gorgeous natures that seem to be those who are mistreated.

I will have to dig some old pictures out.
