I have chosen this postcard for today's Thursday Postcard Hunt because of the dog. Then I had a look at my Writers album, and found a second postcard of a writer with his dog: Thomas Carlyle. It seems Carlyle's dog was named Nero. And now I just need to know the name of the dog on the first postcard!

Thursday Postcard Hunt
November theme: ANIMALS- Week 1 - In the Wild
- Week 2 - On the Farm
- Week 3 - Working
- Week 4 - Pets
- Week 5 - Cartoon, funny
I'd never heard of Kraus either or that there Carlyle's house in London was a museum. Good to learn 2 new things today. Not many writers have two houses preserved as museums, Carlyle's birthplace in Scotland is owned by the National Trust too.

DeleteI like to learn what names people give their pets. I bet they haven't really changed much over the years (unlike people names)
ReplyDeleteThere are some classic names. But then, some people got really crative regarding their pets' names!
