Beatrix Potter

Did you know that Beatrix Potter was a fan of Border Terriers??

I was browsing the collections of the V&A (as is the right of a dog to do), and came across the fact that they have a photograph of Beatrix Potter sitting next to a Border Terrier and and … feeding him!! Unfortunately there is no image on the website, but I have it on good authority that this is an accurate description of the photograph. Perhaps I will visit the V&A and request that I can view the photo. I’m sure that dogs are allowed in museums.
