Pug Photographer

This is an adorable pug-as-photographer postcard from 1901. Since I don't know German, the message remains a mystery to me. I put "bitte recht freundlieh" in google translate to which I received "please pretty friend lent." I'm pretty sure that's not what the correspondent had in mind!

Dear Jan Just a line to thank you very much for the nice XXX-Card you have lent to me. Grand-dad XXXXX with it. Hope you are quite well with XX Love from Nana and Grand-dad.

The handwriting on this card is so interesting, but it's very hard for me to decipher. 

Delightful Pug

Everybody loves pugs!

Pug Pairs

This is a mounted black and white photograph. I'm guessing that it was taken in the early 1900s. How do you think my dogs compare? I think my pug mixes look a lot like the pugs of the early Twentieth Century, more than today's full-breed pugs do.
