Dogs Stamps

Dogs are man's best friend and this is known to all dog lovers. They are probably the friendliest and most playful creatures on earth. They are good companions and very loyal. I really love dogs and for me they're not just pets, they're friends. And because I love these cute friends of mine, Im posting few of my dog stamps on this blog!

New Zealand's Health stamps on 1982 picture dogs of 3 kinds (Labrador, Border Collie, and Cocker Spaniel). Unfortunately, I got only 2 out of 3. 2 cents of the stamp's value goes to NZ's health services.

Le chiot is a French phrase for "the puppy". On 2006 France has issued a set of 4 pieces stamps entitled Young Animals. The set contains the puppy, the kitten, the ponny, and the lamb. I got only the puppy though.

Beagles! They reminded me of Shoeshine from the 2007 movie Underdog based on an American TV series by W. Watts Biggers. Shoeshine is a beagle who can fly and has super canine strength! Anyways, the post office of Benin issued a set of 7 stamps of dogs on August 23, 1995. The dogs featured are: German Shepherd, Beagle, Great Dane, Boxer, Pointer, Fox Terrier, and Schnauzer. I got only 4. :( You can see the stamps on Scott Catalogue: Benin #741-747.

Just recently I came across to one of my facebook friend's cover collection. This cover is owned by Boben John Emanuel from India.Boben also got a good collection of insect stamps in covers which we will be sharing on our next post.

This is Trixie. She is a 5-month old Labrador Retriever. Trixie has been with our family ever since she was little. We used to have her inside the house 'till she grew so fast that we can no longer manage having a four-legged giant running inside the house. She broke some vases, dvds, and even tore one of my favorite shirts but we don't mind because we lover her. Without Trixie, our home will never be as fun as what it is now.

If you have wonderful stamps, covers, and FDCs you wanted to share on this blog just let us know through our Facebook page so we can have a look.

Malawi WWF Bird Stamps

Love birds are one of my favorites but they are also one of the most exploited birds.  In coordination with WFF, the Malawi post office has issued last September 30, 2009 a set of stamps depicting Lilian's Lovebirds (Agapornis lilianae). The Lilian Lovebird is also know as Nyasa Lovebird and is the smallest parrot in the mainland Africa.
