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 dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos, your name and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim[@]hotmail[.]com and PLEASE don’t send me closeups of your pet!)

“This is our 10 year little chihuahua cross Romey that we rescued from a puppy mill 8 years ago, they used him as a stud to make more little dogs. His name was Romeo when we first brought him home how unfortunately appropriate. He’s one handsome little guy snoozing on his favourite spot.”
– Matt

“This is my Weimaraner, Lincoln on the couch in our living room.  He’s not really supposed to be up there, but he loves watching traffic go by.  And how can I resist that face and those ears!“
– April

“Meu nome é Magda e moro em Ribeirão Preto. Aí vai uma foto de um cantinho da minha sala com minha gatinha Bella, de 8 meses. Ela adora ser fotografada.”

– Dominique (France)

“Gertrude is a smaller-than-average English Bulldog with an underbite, a best friend named Lois, and a distinctive snort. Her hobbies include watching HGTV, having her belly rubbed, and riding in the car. Gertie does not know any tricks, but she loves to make people laugh and eat lots of cookies.”
– Meghan
  

“Meet Lola, my 4 month old Ragdoll kitten. When she’s not following me from room to room like a second shadow, she likes to jump up from my Barcelona chair onto this mirrored table to get a really good look outside.”
– Margaret (Toronto)

“I’ve attached one of my favorites of our cat Otis. This picture is totally him, arrogant and royal. Pain in the ass. It was taken on our front porch, his favorite place to sun, but only May through September because we live in Fargo, ND.  The rest of the year it’s too cold for his royalness.”
– Deb

“This is my pup Penny Lane showing off the vanity bench I upcycled this weekend.”
– Amber

– Danielle

“I just love the Pets on Furniture posts — my two beagles just love furniture – they think the floor is for the dogs! The first picture is at my parents house where the two are often found bunking on a purple overstuffed chair. The bottom dog, Oscar, hates having his picture taken. However, I was able to capture Oscar lounging on an ugly (rental home) but comfy sofa (second picture). They make my days joyful and help me to stop and sniff the roses, and grass, and whatever else is around.”
– Lisa

“This is Kophr (pronounced “Copper”), my sister’s beagle, on my estate-sale-find chair that he loves jumping up on to peer out the front room window.  He also jumped up when he wanted to show my two big dogs that he, in fact, had the high ground. 😉”
– Cassi

“Hi, my name is Sandra and this is my dog Masha. Masha is a mixed-breed dog, and we are from Belgrade in Serbia.”
– Sandra

“Here is my french poodle pup Rishi. Somehow he has come to the conclusion that our Pier 1 Daybed belongs to him and him only. So the result is this.”
– Tashrin

“This is my Miniature Bull Terrier Lilly. When she was a puppie I loved to have this warm little doggy lying behind my back while I was working. Now she’s grown-up and is still lying there everyday, so we both have to spare that tiny space. But that’s ok as long as we are together.”
– Julia

This next entry I wrote up on behalf of my younger sister. She’s been wanting to participate in a Pet post for a long time now and finally took photos of her Persian named Pugley whom my fiancé and I rescued from the Humane Society several years ago (he drove our Himalayan nuts so she offered to take him). He’s a grump-ass but he was in really rough shape when we first saw him so he’s forgiven and he’s now the king of her house. Here are a couple photos of him on his throne.
– Kim and Jen
  

“This is Hank on the red leather couch at the production office while we were on location in Vancouver.”

– Nicole

“My name is Jenny West. Photo is by Katie Stoops. Boston Terrier is Stella. Katie is raising money for the SPCA humane society and is taking photos of pets as a side project. This is Stella being a little shy because she wasn’t so sure why she was getting so much attention that day. We had a wonderful shoot after we got to the park where Stella could be herself. (We got the modern and sleek sofa from a thrift store for $100. Fits the room perfect).”
– Jenny

“This is Mayzie in her favourite position in-between my favourite vases (much to my horror).”
– Kate

“This is Bleau, our Great Dane.  She has claimed our Lee Jofa sofa as hers now!  I can’t kick her off, just look at her! 😉”
– Melissa

“This is Bella, our year old Meagle (mini pin, beagle cross). This girl has attitude! She is the queen of the house (or at least she thinks so). She lounges anywhere she pleases and if you try to get her to move so you can sit there, she’s not happy. She loves this old blue chair that I inherited from my parents and have hopes of upholstering. She can lay there all day long and sunbathe (since its right next to the picture window.)”
– Jess

“I know I sent you one photo of my sweet red cat as a kitten in our laundry basket, but this afternoon something happened that I have to share with you too 🙂 I have another cat called Baktus – actually it is my daughters – and it loves to sleep in my expensive Arne Jacobsen Chair-7 that is placed in my bedroom. That means we never can lay our clothes there without having cat hair all over. I have been waiting to catch a photo of it at the right moment, and today I finally got a great picture of it. Then the fantastic thing happend: Two hours later the other cat Rahpaello, who almost never sleeps in this chair, hopped up on it and took an afternoon nap. I succeeded in taking a picture of him too from almost the same angel. And now you can see what came out of that.”
– Annette (Denmark)

“This is KitKat sitting in her (and my) favorite chair!”
– Kristen

“Beneath the couldn’t-be-bothered greyhound,Lizzie, and the ever-alert Toy Fox Terrier, Gordalita, lies a beautiful chaise which I bought on Ebay and recovered in silk velvet. No, really, it’s nice. Move dogs! People want to see the silk velvet!”
– Priscilla

“Ok, so I am not sure if your pet can be featured more that once? My kids really wanted me to send you this photo of our Beagle Rooke. He lays on top of this chair and looks out the window. He reminds me of a cat when he does this”
– Stephanie

“This is the family dog Winslow. He loves to play around on my little sister Erin’s bed in his favourite green shirt.”
– Michelle

– Jeff

“These are my feathered babies. My cockatiel was having fun in our living room as she recovered from her sore wing (got caught in his cage, thank god his wing wasn’t broken). The other one is my lovely 14 year old yellow headed amazon, his name is Mauricio.”
– Marcela

“1 – This is just how Oscar sits all the time.  NEVER on the floor….always like a human, on a piece of furniture….preferrably near a window.
2 – This is Oscar taken on Christmas Day 2009.  I received a copy of Cesar Millan’s “How to Raise a Perfect Dog” book for a gift and it was left on the coffee table.  Oscar claimed the chair beside the table and fell asleep sitting up.  I couldn’t resist this shot!”
– Jill

“This is my cat Jake laying on my amazing down filled vintage couch from the 70’s. I found it in someone’s yard with a FREE sign on it (SCORE)! Being strategically placed under a bright sunny window, it’s his favorite place to lounge.”
– Melodie

“My name is Shannon Ashburn and my Mastiff/hound mix is named Waylon.  My dog loves sleeping more than anything in life and I have a few shots of his weird positions.”
– Shannon
  

“My puppy “Pow Pow” on our leopard print coffee table/foot stools, I love the leopard pieces and my puppy so much.”
– Lauren

“1 – This is Riko.  He’s almost 5 and I adopted him in Kuwait when he was 1.  After overcoming the initial shock of moving from a shelter in the middle of the desert to a house, he decided that the bed is his safe place.  No matter where he is – my house, a hotel, or a relative’s home – he immediately jumps into the bed.  When he’s feeling lazy, he likes to have breakfast in bed.
2 – This is my mother’s dog Bandit who died in 2006.  Visiting me when I lived in Tunisia, he picked this chair as his favorite napping spot because my dogs refused to share their beds.
3 – This is Cashmere (left) and Riko (right) during our first week in Jordan.  None of my things had arrived and our apartment was filled with loaner items.  They picked the bed as the best place to spend time – leaving no room for me – until our furnishings arrived.”

– Natalie

“This is Annabelle, my parents’ darling black schnauzer. She’s a hit with everyone that visits, and gets way too much attention. She’s spoiled rotten, as you can see here.”
– Claudia

“Teddy being coy. Hiding underneath the Fightin’ Irish.”

“Here are a couple of pictures of my kitten Alice. She is 14 weeks old and a wild little thing. She loves to play, sleep and scratch on my sofa.”
– Kristine (Norway)

“This is TingTing (aka Baby). She’s a 10 month old Green Cheek Conure who loves to be with me. I have been reupholstering these chairs and she’s been with me the whole time. Try pounding nails with a parrot sitting on your hand…or head. I wanted to get a shot of the chair stripped down to the muslin and burlap because it was so pretty. TingTing obviously thought she should be in the photo…it’s like she’s saying ‘you are taking a picture of ME right?!’”
– Dane

“My lovely Lilah on her (and my) favorite ‘flea market find and fix’ chair.”
– Shelly

“This is my kitty Poe posing in the afternoon sun. We lived in a 1940’s stream-line Art Deco apartment building in LA (built by the man who played the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz) and bought furniture to match the aesthetic. Of course, Poe thought it was just for her.”
– Joanna

“This is our dog Keely whom we adopted out of the side of a van in a parking lot. She has been the love of our lives and couldn’t ask for a better companion! Here she is in one of her many unusual spots on a lazy day…”

– Riki

“I’m a big fan of your blog and a fellow Ottawan! We have two pups, Sam and Milo (in the foreground), who own the living room sofa, even though they are continually warned not to. I have been trying for months to get a shot to send in for Monday’s Pets on Furniture, but these fellas are camera shy and usually make themselves scarce when they hear the camera turn on. This time they were not so quick!”
– Donna

“Here is our cat Rory making himself comfortable on our newly upholstered arm chairs. He thinks we had them reupholstered just for him.”
– Jess

“I was visiting my brother in San Diego last week, when an odd scrabbling sound awoke me early in the morning. I went to see what it was and found Lil Joe standing on a desktop. ‘Ummm,’ I said to Joe, ‘wait right here, I’m gonna get my camera.’ He did, I did, and this is the shot (I do love the fabric my sister-in-law, Holly used on the desk chair). When my brother came down that morning I told him Lil Joe had been on the table. ‘Nuh uh,’ he grunted. I merely turned on the camera and showed him.”
– Priscilla

“Here’s our old boy, Moby, and his best friend, Enzo.“

– Laura

“I have a few submissions of my late, great rabbit Mr. T. (Unfortunately, he was black, so very hard to get good pictures of. This is why I’m giving you several, in case one is clear enough for your standards. But he had no qualms about hopping up on my mid-century teak credenza, which I always found hilarious. He passed away last October.)”
– Sarah

“Coco is a very hyper-active dog and likes to run around the house most of the time, but when it is time to relax he likes to hide in between all the pillows on my futon.  Sometimes its hard for me to spot him! LOL”
– Jeane

“This is Mugsie laying on our couch – he will only sit perched on the top of couch and chair cushions, causing our furniture to get some lovely indentations. But it’s worth it to see how comfortable and adorable he is!”
– Perri
