Nostalgia: Good Dog

This cast iron dog doorstop was left to me by my grandmother Audrey. It was given to her by her mother Jane who originally used it in her home in New York City in the early 1900s — I bet this dog has seen a lot over the years!  I remember being a little girl and struggling to carry this heavy antique around my grandmother's house because I loved it so much and wanted to take it with me everywhere I went. Every time I look at it now, it brings back such happy memories from that time in my life.
