94. Brass dog tag.
This tag was bought by one of our daughters for Bella, the first smooth fox terrier that I owned. On the reverse it is inscribed with her name and our telephone number. After Bella's death her relative, Maisie, took ownership of the tag with a promise from me that once she had learnt to read I would buy her a new one and put her name on it.
Maisie was my constant companion for ten happy years. She never learnt to read but she was adored and adoring and possessed a heart of gold.
95. Infant identity tag.
This small plastic hospital identity tag changed my life for ever. It turned me into someone else, a mother.
I think that's as nice a souvenir as a photo. We keep dog and cat collars too.
ReplyDelete6 more to go!
Have you noticed that I've slowed to a snail's pace, Cro? It's because I'm unsure exactly which objects I should include. The final two I know about, which leaves a choice of only 3.
DeleteI'm waiting for you to start on your list, to include the plumb line.

DeleteI bet she never learnt to read on purpose Rosemary. Take care.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly had skills such as 'terrier deafness', the ability not to hear whenever it suited!
DeleteI have called in here before.... because I loved your dust sheet post..... its good to have put the 2 blogs together in my mind now Rosemary...now I'll have to explore the 3rd one.
ReplyDeleteI have a small collection of dog ( and cat ) tags..... and still feel sad when I see "Lucy"'s..our gorgeous springer who died 3 years ago. So sorry about Maisie.
Dear Janice, thank you for your comment. I'm very sad without Maisie; always the downside of losing the wonderfully loving relationship that exists between dog and owner.
