My History Fix

the Fun Side of History!

PETS: THEY’VE ALWAYS BROUGHT US JOY

May 22, 2015

As a kid I remember dressing up my cat (with varying degrees of success).

Cat dress-up and typingI took my cat in for round one of my high school senior pictures.

Of the 900 photos on my phone right now, I estimate 700 of them to be of my cats.

Based on what I found perusing the World Wide Web, some things just don’t change!

We love our pets. We want to capture their beauty, their cuteness and eccentricities and of course, their many talents (like typing). Some of life’s best moments happen with our pets. As evidence I submit the following…enjoy!

Dog and boy beggingI’m not sure who is more indignant about this shot, the dog or the boy!
