Frank and Dottie Spread Out Their Old Photos. Biscuit Found His Favorite.

AI imagecorgifamily photosmemories

Decades of memories are spread across the wooden table: faded color prints and black-and-white snapshots, some with scalloped edges, piled in loose drifts. Frank and Dottie lean over them shoulder to shoulder in matching sweaters with navy geometric bands, carefully sliding photos into place and sharing quiet smiles. Biscuit has propped himself at the edge of the table, his big ears forward and his nose pressed right against one of the pictures, giving it a thorough sniff. A teacup, two pairs of glasses, a remote, a small potted plant, and a worn hardcover book share the table with the photos.

Going through old photos together is a lovely way for couples to revisit shared stories and pass them along to family. Many people take the chance to write names, dates, and places on the backs with an acid-free pen, or to scan favorites so they can be shared and protected from fading. Store prints in acid-free sleeves or boxes away from humidity and direct sunlight. With a curious dog around, it helps to keep piles small and away from the table edge, since a nosy Corgi can easily send a stack sliding or leave a nose print on a cherished picture.

Biscuit may not recognize the faces, but he can tell these moments are special to Frank and Dottie. That's reason enough for him to stay close.
