You know how people are often like: "pets are not children, back in my days we fed them literal trash and let them roam freely and they were fine, you are spoiling them too much nowadays"? I found a pattern for a dog sweater from 1912

Just imagine people boarding steam ships with dogs in these adorable sweaters.

Source if you want the whole pattern (other vintage knit/crochet patterns)

Herrschners. Catalog, no. 78. 1954-1955.

It is with this post that I realized an error I made with scanning everything. Or, perhaps, faced a habit of mine. I save everything as a .png file as a default, probably because historically that made the most sense.

Tumblr telling me there's a 30 image limit per post is throwing me too big of a bone. THESE FILES ARE MASSIVE. I was spoiled with finally having a decent scanner. May God save my wretched soul.
