Now that we’ve all hopefully recovered from learning that I cannot identify a buffalo or bison, it is time for me to share another of my prized antique pet pics. This time around, it’s a print that I purchased while out with my friend Sarah at the Chelsea Antiques Mall. Anyone happen to know anything about these dogs? Are they greyhounds or whippets? And how cool is that little lady?

I have been meaning to make this a regular addition to the blog. I’ve written about selling large lots of photographs in the past, but not much about why I do this. One of the main reasons I buy huge lots of people’s old snapshots is because I collect old pictures of people with pets or other animals. Here’s one of my most recent favorites.
What is going on in this picture? Is that a bull? It’s so hairy. Is she waving a graduation cap? Did she graduate from bull-riding school?
So from now on, I’m going to try to post a few of my favorite pet/animal pictures each week or so.

Update from Erin: I AM DYING. That is obviously a buffalo. Sarah actually described this photo to me today before I saw it for myself and I was seriously losing my mind. How do you not know what a buffalo is?!? She even admitted to googling “shaggy bull.” SERIOUSLY DEAD. I’M DEAD. I’M A GHOST NOW BECAUSE I DIED FROM DISBELIEF.
Update from Sarah: I still cannot stop laughing. I am a true idiot.
