馃帹馃悤 Autumn is for cranberries, and this #ArtfulPup appears on a vintage label. "Eatmor" launched in 1916, but this c1934 "Pointer" sub-brand was specific to Cape Cod cranberries packed in 25-lb wooden boxes for distribution in NY and Chicago. Spotted @capecodnps in Eastham, MA.

馃寧 Yonder thoroughly enjoyed his #WITWW outing at the Eric Sloane Museum in Kent, CT. Though not allowed inside the museum devoted to the work & personal collection of Eric Sloane (1905-85), Yonder was free to explore the dog-friendly grounds with its trails and Noah Blake Cabin!

馃寧 This #WITWW, we're visiting the studio/museum of a prolific 20th-c American artist known for his landscape paintings and illustrations of early American tools. Here, Yonder stands in a recreated 1805 cabin made famous in his book, "Diary of an Early American Boy." Guess where!

馃帹馃悤 Today's #ArtfulPup is the "Avery Teeth Talk" bulldog. He's the face of this 1915 steam traction engine at the @CAMA_CMA in Kent. Avery's ad campaign paired the threshing capability of its agricultural equipment with a stalwart, toothy bulldog.

#WITWW greetings from Chatham Light on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The light is now managed by the Coast Guard. Yonder became one crazy doggo when presented with the opportunity to tear around on the expansive shoreline (note: the beach is open to leashed dogs after September 15).
