I Am A Hoarder…

Part 2

As you know from my last
article, I am a hoarder. I
now have more to confess.

I have kept every single
Keeshond Club Calendar
that I have ever had, and
all the Keeshond 2000
magazines. I contributed
articles to most of those
too, to John Beacock. They
are kept in my big cupboard
downstairs alongside my 35
scrapbooks with all my
show records. I have 63
photo albums which I
started in 1956 when I was
10. 31 photos of all of my dogs
Needless to say, since I had my first dog in 1971, most have been of dogs.
When photos started being downloaded digitally instead of having film, I have
62 CDs just of dogs, and
3 memory sticks which
hold so many more than
CDs and albums.
But even more than that
I have 193 framed photos
and pictures around my
house. And, yes, it is a
big house, with three
stories and four
bedrooms, so I have
plenty of wall space. With
the clearing out of my
loft, I have already
donated dozens of
pictures to charity shops,
