| My granddaddy Fred Slade with the Moores' dog |
My granddaddy Fred Slade kept a kennel of beagles at his sister and brother-in-law's property on Jolliff Road in Chesapeake, not far from where I live now. When I was just a baby, George and Margaret Moore owned that German Shepherd. It was not a particularly nice dog, but it liked me. In fact, it stood guard when my parents put me down for a nap and wouldn't let anyone near me.
Counting down the number of photos of dogs in my
collection

How nice that he kept you safe as you napped!
ReplyDeleteI have an unusual number of my ancestors' photos with dogs in them, too Funny, never cats!
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting pose, Wendy, with your grandfather's face and the dog's other end. Your grandfather looks so happy. (He was probably grateful to the dog for keeping you safe!)
ReplyDeleteLike Nancy, I noticed the dog's unique pose in this photo too. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had your very own personal watchdog when you were little. How cute is that?
You sure have a lot of photos of your ancestor dogs! :-)
