Many of us antique bottle and glass collectors have dogs as pets and consider them family members. We certainly do here at Peachridge. Coco, my running mate and Weimaraner, is as my feet as I write this while Sadie is by the fireplace keeping warm. Cooper, our Great Pyrenees is out front, probably chasing passing cars. Buster our Miniature Dachshund is playing with his ball. Their life is relatively easy compared to some of these working dogs who delivered milk and supplies, pulled wagons and starred in movies. A fun post no doubt. This post is a spin-off the of historic Grocery Store post of a few days ago.

Yes, I know this is not a dog but still a great picture.
An article I wrote many many years ago about the bottles of Canada’s Yukon and Northwest Territories (just east of Alaska), with the greatest dog/bottle photo in the history of the world. Dana Charlton-Zarro, Jim Eifler, I’m sure you will love the photo… and the article… Saddle Flasks by Phil Culhane
Great coverage, but those poor doggies! My favorite photo is “Coasting on Dogmobile”, with runner-up “W. Snook & Son Bakers” (dog resting under the wagon). In these photos, the dogs are not working at all! Woof-Woof!
