Displaying posts labeled "Pets on Furniture"

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!)

– Lauren H.

“The photo I sent last week was of Oliver napping in an apartment in Prague. We travel together, you see. I have a couple of photos from our travels and thought I’d share with you. This one is from an Bed and Bath outside of Rhonda in Spain. Oliver likes to nap. The great “sofa” actually folds down to a bed. Love the color, though I’d never be brave enough to do in my own home.”

“It occurred to me, that I’m not sure if you’ve shown many/any pets on outdoor furniture. Since the weather here has been so great, I thought I’d share Pepper & Pickle checking out our new Polywood Adirondack chairs. I think they appreciate having furniture to lounge on when they’re outside enjoying the fresh air and sun as much as when they’re inside! 🙂“
– Tess

– Hannah

“Don’t know if you would call this a furniture – you decide – but one thing’s for sure, it’s cute 😉 We got this great little red boy last summer. He didn’t live with us very long before he ruled the house, and our poor old female cat, has to tiptoe around if she won’t play his wild games. Here he is caught in my laundry basket, just a few months old. By the way: My five year old son has named him Raphaello, after the red Ninja Turtle.”
– Annette (Denmark)

“Molly is our 5 year old Labradoodle who runs the house. Last night she decided that she’d perch herself in her Dad’s chair next to the fire. She is such a smart, beautiful girl.”
– Sarah

“I was playing around with my camera this weekend trying to document my living room for my blog (before I change up stuff for the 10,000th time :-), and I happend to take this shot. My photography skills are limited to point and shoot, but I managed to capture my cat Charlie resting on one of my favourite pieces of furniture – my grandma’s retro armchair. Charlie loves to snooze up there, while keeping an eye on the turmoil of the street below…”
– Katja (aka Fat Cat)

“Cletus knows she is not supposed to be on the couch. This particular couch is in my front room, the “Cat Free Zone”, but sometimes I forget to close the door and I just know that she will be in there curled in a ball, pretending that I can’t see her snoozing. In this pic she knows she’s been caught! Sometimes she gets evicted but if she looks at me cute enough.. she gets to stay until Dad gets home.”
– Sara (Ottawa)

“My husband and I adopted 8 year-old Whiskey from a shelter a year ago, and he’s 17 lbs of fluffy love! This week he discovered the comforts of sleeping on the back of the living room chair. I bought the pillow case on a business trip to Africa, and it is hand-painted.”

“Your pets on furniture was brought to my attention by a friend of mine who knows my silly fascination with photographing my dog throughout my condo. These weren’t shot with your parameters in mind, but I think they actually may work. Photos are of Otto, my 2-1/2 year old Blue Weimaraner.”
– Dana

“This is my dog Sophie. She is one regal bitch. I made this slipcover especially for her; note how she blends in not unlike a chameleon. Sophie likes to sit in this chair during the day so she can survey the neighbors with trademark disdain.”
– Lauren

“The way Sammy relaxes some days; resting his head on the Moroccan side table.”
– Traci

– Julia

In the background is my homemade cat tree/shelf, and a framed Pantone sheet from my Etsy store. In the second photo Zelda is sitting on the built-in cabinet with the cacti, a vintage Delphite FireKing bowl and some dried japanese anemone seedpods.”

“This is my 14 year old cat called Buffy the Vampire Slayer…the kids chose the name after the obvious and their obsession with the TV series!  We live in Canberra, Australia. She’s incredibly grumpy, loves taking a swipe (well named hey!) and always carrying on to be fed…or lounging about here when she has a perfectly good fur lined basket to sleep in!”

“I am Brooklyn. I live in Stockholm, Sweden and I am a Ridgeback mix. My mom try’s to keep me off the furniture but when i tilt my head and look at her she melts. Yeah, I know she is a sucker. But it is great, cause I usually get what I want. Best of all is when mom sits next to me in our couch and blogs. I get to sleep as she gets to be inspired! Well now i think I hear someone say “walk” so that means I am out of here.
– xx Brooklyn (oh and my mom, Joanna, says Hi)

“I LOVE this series you do! And while I love my dog…I love my furniture too. THIS might be where I have to draw the line. Mind you, the chair is a Big Butt Chair…more than 36 inches across! Bo…apparently, is a Big Butt Dane. I did a whole series on the chair on my blog…it was a PIA to re-do!!”
– Linda

“My Missi loves sleeping in my bed and we took this nice photo while shooting my cushions.”

“After bringing in 2 new male cats in to the house this week, our 5-year old cat “Gata” has never been more competitive. Turning her charm a few more notches, she works it for my camera while chillin’ at her favorite place in the house – the office couch.”
– Ypille

“I submitted my dog Elvis’s picture for your Pets on Furniture edition and he was up (last) week!  Yey!  But it’s created some jealousy issues with our other Bichon Frisé!  Hehe!  Can I submit her photo for next week?  Like this she can regain her “queen” status within the household?
This is a picture of our 14 year old Bichon Frisé, Bijou.  That’s right, Bijou, French for jewel!  This picture was taken this summer on our wedding day by our talented wedding photographers Davina + Daniel ( http://davinaplusdaniel.com/blog/ ).  I guess Bijou needed to run away from the wedding craze and to do so, she targeted the one couch in the house she’s not allowed to jump on!  I’m sure she didn’t think she would get caught on camera!”
– Nataly

“I’ve attached four photos of Lucy, (dog), and Scooter, (bunny), hanging out on the sofa together. Lucy and Scooter are buddies and have perfected the art of sitting on the back of the sofa and begging for treats. And I don’t know if you ever include “pets on furniture” VIDEOS, but if you’d like to include my youtube link starring Scooter playing on the sofa (with appearances by Lucy and Scooter’s bunny companion, Baxter) you are welcome to.”
– Alison

“Here’s a photo of our other bunny, Bernina.”
– Kristen

“This is Charlie. He loves lounging around on sofas and coffee tables. He loves position himself in strange places on the couch, and wedge himself between pillows. He is such a wonderful puppy, he somehow manages keep the pillows in their place!”
– Leanna

“Here’s Oscar relaxing on “his” chair, accompanied by a Lulu DK bolster pillow and sheepskin. He’s four and we live in NYC so he’s a big fan of window watching on all that is going on down below in “his kingdom”!!!”
– Lauren

“Sometimes my dog Ennis will just sit like this and watch me (sizing me up?) while i’m watching t.v….i’ts kind of unnerving. He’s sitting on my beautiful modern couch from Room & Board. i am so thankful to the sales person who suggested I get this couch instead of another one because it would stand up to frequent use and it sure has. Yes, I really did have an oil painting done of him as Ennis Washington (artist Carol Lew, see background) 😉”
– Mike

“Here is a picture of our French Bulldogs Barkley and Beau (and their stuffed friend Leroy)!”
– Emily

“I think this pic is too blurry for your site, but I wanted to share our new family member, Stanley.  We found him on Petfinder.com.  He was at Animal Control in San Jose then a nice group rescued him.  He is wonderful and I think a great advertisement for rescuing mutts!”
– Leah

“This is Rooke our 6 year old Beagle.  We are doing some remodeling in our kitchen.  Rooke was not loving all the commotion and noise going on.  He was especially afraid of the nail gun:(  I found him in my daughter’s room using her stuffed animal as a pillow! So cute!”
– Stephanie, Chris, Tyler, Madison & Rooke

“This is Gus, my 95 lb. Lab making himself comfortable in my wicker chair. He always chooses what I would consider the most uncomfortable places to rest, as evidenced by the photo of him lounging on my vintage table on our deck. Don’t ask me how he managed to get up there…it’s a mystery!”
– Shari

“This is our Yellow lab, Hailey and her “little brother” Diego (Weimaraner). Ever since we moved our futon downstairs into the office, they think this is their bed. They love to cuddle up together & fall asleep!”
– Crystal
