Monday's pets on furniture - part 2

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 both pet and furniture takes center stage. (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. For example, if it's REALLY dark or fuzzy (camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks!

"Here are a few pictures of my cats, Caleb (brown tabby) and Squirt (white and gray). They are not siblings but as you can see they do take care of each other. Catching them snuggling like this on my living room chair always melts my heart. The chair is from Anthropologie--a big splurge. I bought the pillow cover in Morocco."

"I woke up this morning to find Bella the cat (aka Bellarina, Bell Bells, Bella Fontae) on this armchair in our bedroom. Bella woke up as I was taking the photo and promptly got up and left - oops!"
- Julie

"I thought I would submit a picture of my sister's english bulldog, Clarence. He might be the dumbest dog I know, but the joy he brings makes up for it!"
- Candace

"My name is Amanda Powell from Huntsville, Alabama. Your blog is a must read, and I love the "Pet's on Furniture" post you feature every Monday. Since you've started it, I've been desperately trying to get a picture of my sassy Marie on our leather couch. This has proved quite a task since she is never still and always into something. Today she sat, for the first time, and did not move until I took the picture. Hope you enjoy my little beauty! PS: don't be fooled by her expression, she is very mischievous :)"

"Here are a few pictures of my cats Nanook and Romy hanging out around our home."
- Cheryl

"I read your blog daily and I look forward to every week's Pets on Furniture. Please consider one of these photos for next week. Thanks and Happy Halloween. Oh and the tapestry in the background is from Urban Outfitters."
- Selena

"Finally I decided to send a picture of Bianca, my dad's doggy. As you see, she has her own space on the sofa... seems that she really does like it. (I'm from Spain. The house is in the Canary Islands.)"
- Natalie

"I love to see all of your featured pets and I would like to include a photo of my Shi Apso, Picaboo. Picaboo loves to cuddle on piece of furniture he can find. Here is a shot from Christmas 2007."
- Carole

"Oh how I've tried to resist sending in photos of my pets for Monday's Pets on Furniture entry! I've admired all of the other fabulous submissions and finally cannot hold out anymore! Please find the following photos for your consideration. Pinball (grey cat) is 12, Colonel Forbin (orange cat) is 10, and Cedar (dog) is 10. They are constantly taking over the couch! (I also should say that I grew up with 6 cats and I am trying my hardest to get my husband to let me adopt more.)"
- Wendy

"I send you my picture of my cat Musetta and the ikea vase...designed by hella jongerius for IKEA PS"
- Dana (Italy)

"I send you photos of my dog Argos, who is a Golden Retriever. He is 2 years old. Argos is actually very active dog, who loves to play around, run and swim a lot. He loves water. But at home, he just wants to relax and to be lazy. He hates lying on the floor, so whenever the situation allows or when me and my husband are not watching, he climbs up on the couch."
- Zola

"This is Maya, I recently painted and recovered this telephone table and it has become a great place for Maya to sit and wait for me to get home. She has added her personal touch by clawing up the covered chair pad."

Due to the amount of entries we received in the past week, I had to split them up into 2 posts, so stay tuned later for more cuties!

"Siler is not even allowed on the furniture at home, but at my studio/printshop, all bets are off. After all, I did name my letterpress business after her! {photo by Julia Vandenoever}"
- Allison

"I loved the 'Pets on Furniture' post today so much I just had to join in! I attached a photo of our new puppy Gertrude and our two cats Hamlet and Norton!"
- Ashley

"Meet Charlie – He is a 3 year old great dane who we fostered for a few months. He never knew his own size and would try to even get on our laps… and he loves his blankets! Drake and Scooter – These two are like two peas in a pod. They not only love playing together but they sleep together too! The fourth picture is just of Scooter."
- Danielle

"Here is a picture of Jasper, a 2 year old Italian Greyhound (who we adopted just yesterday!) on my favourite $5 chair. The chair was brown with grime when I found it but I love how it's scrubbed up."
- Evie

"This is Ringo on our vintage Danish sofabed with her brothers, a couple vintage Teddies."
- Keith & Judi

"Introducing Bobo, master furniture warmer."
- Michael

"I just wanted to submit this picture of my cats, Olly and Katie, reclining on our outdoor dinner table. They love using this table for sunbathing, stretching or just keeping an eye on all of us! I'm sorry to say I don't have another picture with more of the table in it.. My mom (who took this picture) meant to capture the two cats close up and so the focus is more on them (as it probably should be :D)...your Pets on Furniture series never fails to make my day, especially since going away to college has left me with a severe lack of feline loving!"
- Anne

"Sadie is on the left, and Dixie on the right. Our two Husky Mix girls really light up our lives! Here is one of their very favorite positions!!! Perfect view out the window!! These pictures were taken the first weekend we adopted Sadie, 2 days before Christmas! She was about 9 months old, rescued from a nearby shelter. Sadie was a bit shy at first, but as you can see, quickly made herself right at home on our furniture :)"
- LaVonne

"Attached is a pic of my terrier mutt, Higgins. He is an expert napper and coordinates well with my mostly black and white decor. Here is is on our ottoman."
- Courtney

"My sweet Weezie is a year old! Here she is in my office waiting for her mom to finish with patients. I redid my office this year and was inspired by many posts from this blog. Thanks so much for the inspiration."
- Donna

"Just found your site and love it. Attached is my Cat Keisha who enjoys sitting on the placemats on the table."
- Karen

"If you are able to see past all the red in this very old photo you can see my beloved whippet Tigger dying to get at Mr. Peacock! Now many years later her new mission in life is to make life miserable for a cat living under my deck even though she has already had a scratched nose!"
