Monday's pets on furniture
Mon, 14 Jun 2010If 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 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 (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!)
"Here is my dog Baron on our Chesterfield. Sometimes I come home and see him sitting like that waiting for me! He's about 100 pounds at 18 months and cuddly like a teddy bear."

"here i send you 2 pictures of my "little tulip" chairs by paul paulin with my cats "eimer" (black and white) and "chef" (the grey one) on it, 5 year old sister-cats. chef used to sharpen her claws on it but now - after some damage - she fortunaltely stopped. in addition comes another picture of eimer on my former bookshelf. she loved to be there when visitors where in the apartment. she could overlook everything being in a relatively safe place at the same time."

"This siamese kitty is Gros Garcon, aka GG. He is a very kind and laid back fellow who came into my life about 2 years ago, while I was fostering for an animal shelter. He met and befriended his best buddy Petite Fille, aka Mimi, while residing at the shelter, and their relationship was just too sweet for them to part ways when the time came for a permanent home -- so I took them both in. They are absolutely adorable and make for great additions to my family."
- Gaelle
"This is my co-worker's King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Henry, asleep on the sofa. As you can see, he's getting a lot of work done today in our office."

P.S. "Baron" LOOOKS like a "BARON"!!! And those English bulldogs??? Toooooo cute!!! Heck, ALL of these babies are!!! ***
@ Carolyn: what kind of a dog is Poncho (on the pink couch)? Is he/she Havanese? I almost leaped out of my chair when I came across that picture because Poncho looks EXACTLY like my Havanese dog Kukka. Even the lenght of her hair is exactly at the same point. It was almost freaky - I thought, 'Oh my God, somebody went into my apartment in Edmonton Canada, took my dog and placed it on a pink couch with the other dog and took a photo.' Uncanny!
we're not sure what Poncho is, as our friend found her a the back of a grocery store in the rain. No name, tags or anything, so he kept her. We take care of her often and she is a doll! we think cross between Maltese and something, so it could be Havanese too!
I love the last little baby! She looks like an troublemaker aka "imp"! I also have a soft spot for Siamese. So sweet!
Oh my gosh. That first one is hilarious!!!!! I love it!
Carolyn: In the rain at the back of a grocery store?? How terrible for the poor little thing! She must have been really scared. Well, thank goodness she has found a good home. I just keep staring at the picture - looks so much like my Kukka.
Carolyn - your Maltese mix looks EXACTLY like my puppy, Penny. She's a maltese-poodle mix but she's a little large than the typical. They look identical!!
Are you sure Carolyn's dog is not just pure Havanese like mine is? Mine looks like hers and is pure Havanese. But I guess Carolyn would know best. Mine is classified as Champagne Mink in the colouring... and boy, is she ever! All posh and high class ; - )
Proncess Bronkley is too funny!! And the first dog sitting in the chesterfield too. They're all beautiful babies. This post is the only good thing with mondays...

The first one WOW, I had to take a second look. I'm always amazed when I look at these photos.
"Baron, sir, I swear I'll bring your your daughter back before midnight."
I love you pets on furniture posts. Baron--perfectly named--is my favorite of this batch. The look on his face is the best.
Baron, the bulldogs and the spaniel, everyone of them is too cute. Love them all.
Baron's is the best pet portrait I've ever soon. It's genius.
Princess Brinkley is killing me! So funny!
