It is hot, humid, no breeze and the air seems thick. Yup, dog days of Summer. So with that title thought I'd unleash the dog photos from the flash drive and move them to another photo file.
A hooked and shirred rug measuring 26 x 49.5 but no date was provided. Since it was hooked and shirred it is fair to say it is a safe design.
A Hutchinson design, Noble dog was hooked early 20th century (34.5 x 51).
Think this may be the first hooked Corgi I've ever seen. Of course no date and no dimensions either. Cute the way the hooker appears to have the dog's leash circling her fur baby to be the center of attraction.
Bet someone was upset when their rug with hunting dogs ended up needing repair. That poor border and bet it is hooked on brittle burlap.
For Lauren, a curly tailed pug hooked 1898. Perhaps one day she will use this shape to hook a rug for the Pug Rescue or as a memorial of the ones she fostered.
A quite primitive dog, leaves in corners and lots of background someone hooked.
The naïve dog rug below was surely drawn and hooked by a novice. I'll bet Van Gogh would have loved it.
A half circle rug with chain-link style border.
Dog, squirrels, scrolls and stars hooked 19th century. Dimensions are 31.5 x 66 and still listed for sale.
Not a hooked rug, but rather a dog fractur watercolor book plate early 19th century. It is a small 2.75 x 4.5 and estimated the selling price to be around $3-4,000. But instead sold for whopping $25,740!!! Holy moly!Back to the snowman.
