My Favorite Postcards

This was a postcard from Costa Rica that my sister taped a picture of two of my English Mastiff dogs to that were posing with Flat Stanly.   When her daughter did Flat Stanly for school, she sent it to me to take on my trip to Costa Rica.  I sent Stanly back with many great pictures, and a bunch of bookmarks and coins from my trip for her classmates.  I am pretty sure I had more fun taking the pics and gathering the items than she had bringing them to her school!

This postcard was postmarked in 2019.

God Jul (Merry Christmas)

A Christmas card from Kalle Ankas Book Club

This vintage unused postcard features characters from the Disney movie 'Lady and the Tramp', The Tramp, Lady, Trusty, and I have no idea who the little one is.

Lady and the Tramp was the 15th Disney animated feature film and was released on June 22, 1955.

Lady and the Tramp tells the story of a female American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a refined, upper-middle-class family and a male stray mutt called the Tramp. When the two dogs meet, they embark on many romantic adventures and fall in love. 

"Koko"
Le Saint-Bernard Des Neiges

(I believe the translation is: The Saint Bernard of snow.)

The sender writes:
We are having a great time.  The snow in Austria was out of this world - but here in Zermatt, there isn't any so we leave here tomorrow morning for Davos for the rest of the week.

(Zermatt and Davos are both in Switzerland.)

This dog postcard was postmarked from Switzerland in 1973.

Dalmatia
Croatia

This postcard is postmarked in 2016.

The name Dalmatia is from the name of the Dalmatae tribe, which is connected with the Illyrian word delme meaning "sheep".  Its Latin form Dalmatia translates to its current English name.

Dalmatia is referenced in the New Testament at 2 Timothy 4:10 so its name has been translated in many of the world's languages.

2 Timothy 4:10:
for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

The Dalmatian dog's roots trace back to Croatia and its historical region of Dalmatia.
