All The Dogs Of My Life
All The Dogs Of My Life: A Virago Modern Classic | Elizabeth Von Arnim
4 posts
First published in 1936, this is the story of Elizabeth von Arnim's extraordinary life - and her equally extraordinary dogs. From her Pomeranian idyll (celebrated in her famous first book, ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN), to less happy days in London following the death of her first husband; from the beautiful solitude of her Swiss mountain hideaway, to the First World War and a disastrous second marriage, the author takes us on a disarmingly witty and poignant journey of canine companionship.

And last but not least is my big baby Dali. She has gone blind since Christmas. She can tell light difference but it‘s not unusual for her to sit and stare at the wall. She has also lost 30 pounds in the same time period. She‘s 15+. But she‘s still happy. The moment she‘s not we will do what we have to, even if it will kill me to do it. I‘m not looking forward to that day. #loveyourpet

Hooked_on_books The beauty of dogs is they really don‘t need sight the way we do. What a wonderful home you give her. I‘m sure you‘ll savor every day you have with her. Dogs are love and letting them go is so awful (I lost one recently and am still reeling from it). 6y
JoScho Sweet face 🖤 6y

cathysaid Don‘t you just love a graying fuzzy muzzle? So sweet and so wise. I lost my 15+ year old pup in 2014 and never got over it. Give me animals over people anytime ❤️ (edited) 6y
mabell What a sweetie! Still happy ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
britt_brooke What a sweetie. Older dogs are my favorite. 💚🐾 Makes me miss my little old man. We had to let him go in July, and even though it was the right thing, there is a Sam-shaped hole in my heart. 😭 He was a good boy. 6y
Avanders Aww. We have a 15yo cat and I hear you. 🤗🤗 6y
Pricel101 What a face, your pup is still handsome as heck! It killed me to let my boy go recently but it was time. @britt_brooke @cathysaid @HookedonBooks 🖤💔 it‘s the hardest decision to make 6y
cathysaid @Pricel101 So, so hard. Especially when you have to make the call and they are still functioning so there‘s no clear decision to make. My heart goes out to you. 💔 6y

Want to give Flib some screen time for #loveyourpets day. But getting a picture is a pain. She hates having her picture taken. This is the best out of about 50. And if I showed pictures of her and Demon playing it would look more like they are fighting. This is after Demon finally wore her out.

I know it‘s #loveyourpet day but I could kill a puppy. Her and the other furry ladies are finally getting along and most house accidents #1 are stopped. Still working on #2. And she chews on everything. I had to tell her to stop chewing on the table legs. And I may finally have to buy new flip flops.

bTW does it count as dusting if I accidentally suck my curtains up in the shop vac?

DGRachel But how can you be mad at that face? 😍🐶😍 6y
AnneFindsJoy Those EARS 🐶😂😍 6y
LibrarianRyan @DGRachel it‘s hard but it happens. Like every morning when I‘m on my way to work and I have to put her back in the house because she so small she can slip through the fence. 6y

RainyDayReading So cute! I‘ve got one that chews too. Thankfully he doesn‘t chew on furniture or clothes but put a pillow, blanket, stuffed toy or slipper in front of him and it‘s just a flurry of fluff 🤣 6y
britt_brooke So, she‘s lucky she‘s cute? 😆 I‘ve had a dog like that before. 6y
Avanders 😳 lol I have vacuumed some crazy things, but I don‘t think curtains have made it yet! 6y

A memorable memoir (with bonus background dog--my 14 year old Husky!) for #bookober!

RealLifeReading What a gorgeous dog! 8y

GlitteryOtters @RealLifeReading thank you! She is such a pretty girl (although she looks kinda like an alien here because she was trying to figure out what I was doing. 😂 I have 3 dogs, so I basically took the pic with the geographically closest dog to me at that moment, but she was certain there was some big important meaning to whatever I was doing. 8y
Libby1 Have you read Enchanted April by the same author? It's clever and funny. 8y
GlitteryOtters @libby1 yes! I own & have read a ton of her books! 8y
