Monday’s pets on furniture – part 2

Posted on Mon, 7 Jan 2013 by KiM

If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my 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 that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s dark or fuzzy then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.comand PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!

I received a pet entry from Annik that included so many photos of her pets – mostly rescued cats and dogs that she fosters – that I thought these animals needed their own post. Annik’s home is beautiful, and the animals she has saved look like they are living the easy-going life they finally deserve.

Zizou hangs out on New Year’s Day morning, awaiting great excitement from a newfound perch. Chair from West Elm, lamp from Ikea, enormous plant from who-knows-where.
– Erin (Washington, DC)

A few weeks after losing my 13-1/2 year-old greyhound boy, Ender (who only once got up on the furniture and was featured in tribute here, I adopted Penny, a 15-month old greyhound girl, who is filling in the empty spot Ender left.  Penny has selected one of my vintage rattan chairs as her favorite.  The first photo is of Penny in her fierce “watch dog” pose by the window, in case she opens her eyes, she can “watch” something.  The second one, I call “bottoms up”, for obvious reasons.

Here is my cat, Greta, on a teak mid century footstool I have just recovered.

I headed home to Wisconsin for the holidays and got to meet my mother’s new puppy, Charley. Charley was showing me how he likes to play the organ and make everyone smile!

I showed up to photograph the kitchen of Christy Vega and this little cutie was the first thing to catch my eye. This is his special spot under the tree and if you try to take it he will show you who’s boss!

This is our Norwegian Buhund Ronja who likes to sit on all of our furniture. She is not allowed on the table but she thought she was home alone and that this was a nice high place to guard the house. 
– Roos (Netherlands) 

This is Peace, my little bed hog, sleeping in her favorite spot in the house–my bed.
– Alex (Los Angeles)

This is Lefty, he is a Pit Bull from Austin, TX. He sleeps like this daily in the living room on our camel colored, leather sofa.

This is Madalena (also known as Madalove) sitting in her favorite armchair, besides my brand new Saarinen side table! She was found on the streets some years ago, looking for some love and some food… now she is the cutest dog I have ever known!
– Helena

We just got a new sectional that we’re thrilled with. Apparently our cats, Dexter and Lily, are too. In the pic our boy cat Dexter is in his “bird cat nest” we created out of a chenille blanket. He loves it. Lily loves sitting on our window bench because the heater is underneath it.
Tony

Meet Tulsa (aka the princess). I met her the other day while photographing a friend’s home. Of all the places to sit in the house, she of course sits on the fur and also where the light would hit her just right for her close-up. Her father is very proud of his girl! 
Marcia (Los Angeles, California)

Thanks for the post! I also saw your post on the Pets on Furniture and thought I would send you this too! He wandered into our photoshoot.
James (Toronto)

This is my border collie/spaniel mix, Griffin, on my Ikea Karlstad sectional. He coordinates so well with my Ikea pillow I had to get a shot. Special guest appearance by Shadow the housecat, upset by Griffin moving in on her  back-of-the-couch sunshine.
– Christine (Ottawa, ON)

This is my miniature schnautzer Gala, 3 years old.
– Nina (Croatia)

This is my four years old cat Diniz in my sitting-room.
Pedro (Portugal)

This is Sally, our 2 1/2 year old rescue dalmatian. In the first picture she is NOT on the sofa! Two paws are on the floor! In the second, she poses on her favorite rug.
– Beth (New Orleans, LA)

I love your “Monday’s pets” so I decided to send you pics of my Hugo. He is having one of his winter lazy days, which means that he is going to spend much of the day in this papasan, not willing to move or even play.Obviously he doesn’t like my camera, but is too lazy to leave.
