Omg, such a cute picture and story. XD Thanks for sharing!

that is a wonderful picture

Awesome. Cute animals, and I adore vintage photographs.

I love vintage photographs, especially if they have a story to go with them c:

I love this picture so so much...

Come to think of it, this is rather familiar...I trace the art thing back to my grandfather as well. My family otherwise is not very artistically inclined so I've always reckoned that's where I get it. We've got a number of his paintings hung around our house. Half of which are portraits of some of his dogs. He must have had at least 20 dogs throughout the course of his life... The unfortunate thing is he died when I was only three years old so I never really got to know him. I only have one memory of him and am tremendously glad I have it, but I also really wish I had more.

That is a really nice picture from the 40's. was it digitally enhanced?

I gave it a very slight sepia tone to warm it up, but that was all.

A great photograph. Looks like hard times, though. (The US economy was rather weak in the late 40s, and it was not clear that the pre-war Depression was actually over. This was just before the spectacular boom of the 50s and 60s).

He was doing pretty good, I think - owned his house flat-out, had money from soldiering in WW2, he was an accountant (although he look very farmer in this picture!) and my grandmother worked also. I think it's just that they lived in what was back then way out in the boonies and, like myself, he dresses very casual LOL

my grandpa worked a farm on his land and we have all sorts of pictures like this one. thanks for sharing :3

This is awesome! My Grandpa was an entomologist! :V

Aw cool!
