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 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, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com and PLEASE don't send closeups of your pet!)
This picture is made 2 months ago, on a Bandhini photo-shoot. Clouseau (the dog) felt clearly on his place in this picture. Now we're using him as a front cover for our company-profile! We are from Australia, the photo shoot was on location in India.-

We live in an antique house, built in 1920, complete with furnishings to match. Whether it's inside or out, the pets really own the place and thankfully allow us to live here, too.
1. Our Russian Blue, Sootsie, lounging on a Queen Anne wingback (with the arms just "cat height"), recovered in a pewter colored twill.
2. Jack, a beagle mix, on the manliest chair in the house...a leather pub chair with big rolled arms.
3. Our cat, Sootsie, um...relaxes, you might say...on the antique porch swing that is original to our house. LBJ is purported to have swung here, too...having dated the daughter of the original owner of the house. I can only imagine that he was this cool.
4. Our yellow lab, Scout, on the antique wicker that lives on our porch. These chairs have lived through many years of use...I just hope they can withstand this baby girl.
- Mary (San Marcos, Texas)
This toile chair is where our French Bulldog Hugo sits most mornings while we get ready to go to work. Frenchie + Toile = Perfection!- Jessica (Brookline, MA)
1. I adore vintage furniture, and it is what I purchase to mix in with our newer pieces. Here is our dog, taking advantage of my chair.
2. Our 110Lb dog, Gretal on her couch.- Lisa (Pardeevillle, WI)
Our keeping room sofa seems to be the favorite spot for 3 of our pets; though rarely shared, they have learned to take turns...
1. Our rescue shepherd mix, Pasi, often watches for squirrels, deer, or golfers when he takes his turn-- wishing he could be out there amongst them all.
2. Our youngest cat, Munch, uses her time here to wait for a bird to fly by on its' way to the feeder.....
3. Whereas her older half-sister, Nira, usuallly shows up after dark to wait here for her next meal.

Here you have Rodolfo pretending to be a Notre Dame gargoyle on our kitchen extractor.

This is Tiki, bellied up to the dining room table. She likes to sit with me while I'm eating because she thinks she's people. - Laura (Minneapolis)

The cat sprawled out on the porch swing killed me!
You lucky owners!!! Your pets are gorgeous and so cute!
Thanks (as always) for the smiles. They all look like they're exactly where they're supposed to be. Lucky Clouseau!
I'm not a Cat Person (aaaaaCHOO), but I love the juxtaposition shots of Rodolfo and the Notre Dame gargoyle. Too funny! Lots of good dogs on furniture this week as well. Thanx all for making my Monday.
We LOVE Pets on Furniture at our house! Thanks for sharing all these adorable pictures.
One of the best Monday Pets ever! Thx for brightening up my day :0)
I know it isn't a contest, but Clouseau wins for setting, in perpetuity.
Sootsie wins for character and adorable loucheness, not to mention tempting tummy.
Looks like Clouseau is ready for his supermodel debut!
I agree with Lea, this one of the best Pet's on Furniture yet... they are all so adorable but a special shout out to Sootsie for making me LOL!
Sootsie on the porch swing... MADE OF AWESOME!
Wow, is there something in the water in San Marcos? The first three cuties look like they're sleeping off night of hard partying! Baby girl looks like she may have witnessed the mischief. I suggest a spy/nanny cam to see what's really going on while you're away.
Oh Frenchie, what can I say but... mignon chiot!
Love 'em all!!
Thanks so much for Mondays! It's a little relief I look forward to at the start of the week.
Sootsie really made my day!
So cute, as always. Love the bulldog on the toile chair!!
I thought my Russian Blue knew how to relax but Sootsie takes the title!
Rodolfo made me laugh out loud. Adorable.
I want my cat to sit with me at the table!
So, so, so cute!
Ya quisieran los franceses tener una belleza como Rodolfo!! Guapísismo!!
