    That sweater is still my favourite look on Muffy. I outgrew mine in my 20s four decades ago, but I think I can still purchase a similar one from a Norwegian site. I love the Golden's facial expression. Very sweet.

      LL Bean still sells them. Made in Norway and now in a couple of other colors in the same pattern as well.

      Thank you. The original, I believe, is sold by Norlender, and as I am closer to Norway than I am to Maine, the former will do nicely. But thank you very much anyway.

      Though Bean sells Norwegian sweaters, they aren't the same as the versions they used to sell. they're 100% wool now, not 80/20 wool/rayon, and the fit on the current 'heritage' version is quite a bit slimmer in the body and sleeves. Devold sells 'Islender' sweaters that I prefer to the current bean version.

      I could've sworn the old ones from Bean's were made with 100% wool in the body and 80/20 in the collar, waist and sleeves.

    I love a mindset that appreciates people, dogs, and things as they age, collecting stories along the way. Plus, I would much rather sit on the sofa and rub my eleven year old English setter's back than chase after a puppy.

    George Graham Best's "Tribute to a Dog " is required reading & bring your handkerchief. Plenty of road time for my Field Bred English Springer Spaniels in that 240 Wagon.

    These images are the perfect tonic as I sit and bemoan this post-Thanksgiving head and chest cold. Thanks for the smile and warmth.

    Wonderful picture, nostalgic for me, sweater and dog the same. Goldens just become more endearing with age.

    I got a little lump in my throat. I'm such an old softie when it comes to dogs who are no longer with us; great post. :-/
