THE FAMILY CHOW OF THE BURBA ESTATE

BURBA ESTATE BOOK

From the  Columbus Ohio estate of Mr H Ray Burba.

All photos restored b y© Sandra Miller 2015

I acquired these photos from a vendor who had a huge collection of images from this estate with many many featuring these children growing up with their chow. I’m still working on another dozen or so photos I need to add to this album but this is what I have so far.   This is a treasure in my opinion to see how important this dog was to the family that they had the chow pose with the children on so many special occasions

Today we see so many photos of DOGS ONLY… but I see very few of humans WITH their chows being posted. This charming series of photos should put a fire under us all to take plenty of similar pix WITH our dogs as they (and our families) grow up

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.

      Thank you SO much Love for leaving such a sweet comment. I really love these treasured and personal family photos. I think so often where the family is today and if they will ever find them? This set of images has another dozen or more I need to work on to add to the collection. I really think I need to dedicate 2 hours a day to scanning or all these things will never get posted..lol! Big hugs back at ya!!!!! Love Sandy
