Monday’s pets on furniture – part 1

Posted on Mon, 22 Feb 2010 by KiM

If you’d like to send us photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow our basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. (Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture…and your pet happens to be sitting on it). And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s REALLY dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.comand PLEASE don’t send me closeups of your pet!!!)

***Note: I am out on holidays next weekend for 10 days so there will be no pet posts for the next 2 Mondays, but please keep sending in entries for the Monday after I get back!

Meet Zidane. He’s a 4 year old Boston Terrier and the love of our lives. Sure he snores and farts. But we adore him anyway. Technically Zidane isn’t even supposed to be sitting on our white sofa. But I guess he thought if he sat super still no one would notice he was there. Even though Zidane is the star of this picture, the real talent is davina + daniel, two of the best people and photographers i know.

Thanks for the invitation. Here is my version.

Beans can often be found on my Plycraft lounge. He really loves modern furniture. And blankets. Mostly he loves blankets.
– Jaime, Dog Milk

This is a picture of my ever-growing Isabel. She can’t seem to lay on anything without being upside down. Perhaps the world looks better that way to a cat…

My dog Mazie was so excited to be a part of pets on furniture in January that I wanted to send along a picture of my orange cat Gig’em so that he could get in on the fun! Here he is peeking out from his favorite spot behind my Marimekko shams on my ikea Malm bed.”

This is Kitty and his young brother Oliver hanging out in a Bertoia chair. Photo snapped from cellphone, so I apologize if not the best quality.”

This is our Spinone Italiano, Al Fresco. Call him Al. In fact, you can call him just about anything you want, but he will pointedly ignore you when he’s on his favorite crewel wingback chair. He ‘sneaks’ – as only a 65 lb dog can – up on it, does his customary turn around, and settles in firmly. All because he thinks I am not home to chase him off. Winter finds his sleep a bit deeper, so we can pretty much go nose-to-nose with him and he barely makes eye contact.

Here is Captain Jack Sparrow, know to his friends as Jack, and his motley crew of cats, Al, Socks and What’s It, after a hard day of plundering, they take a well earned nap…….on yet another forbidden conquest.

If you met puggles Seymour + Mona, you would at times confuse them for little people. (Or at least they would like for you to think so.) We mostly think they are little dweebs with big hearts. If they are not in bed cuddled up napping, they are on their favorite chair, sunbathing or sitting at the table waiting for first course. Sometimes Mona gets a little confused, jumps on the table and lays in the middle, like she is the main course. Seymour loves to watch people cook or sit in front of the oven cooking mom’s cookies. He won’t budget if highly anticipates a fresh batch. Good luck trying to break that concentration.

I wanted to share a quick snap of my little girl, Maxine, after a brisk walk in Central Park.”

Would love to see our two cats in a photo together on any piece of furniture but it’s been a 7 year war between the two of them. Is there any hope besides relocation of the ‘intimidator’?

Oh my, that first shot is awesome. Gorgeously shot.

Mr. Puggle® says:

Hahahah. Puggles LOVE to sit on the back of a couch or on tables. Here is a "dog on furniture" video of my dog.
