Nothing to do with design and everything to do with animals

Urban Vibe

As many of you know I am a HUGE lover of animals. So huge, that today, I think my boyfriend and I are going to PetSmart to pick up cat #5 (to clarify, the cats at big stores like PetSmart come from the local animal shelter). We saw Mimin, a black cat, a week ago when we were in there buying cat food. She looks just like a cat we had that passed away a little over a year ago. The animal shelter here has what looks to be about 70 or 80 cats - that's ALOT. I feel so horrible for these poor little guys and as much as we don't need a fifth cat, I know that here at rancho relaxo, they have a GREAT life. So if anyone out there is thinking about getting a pet, go to your local animal shelter and do one of these guys a favour. I guarantee they'll love ya forever for it.

UPDATE: It's several hours later and I'm holed up in my bedroom with the new member of our family, Mimin. We let her right out as soon as we got home and the cats were sniffing her butt etc. I was so proud of her because she pretty much ignored them. And then she attacked my chicken sh*t Himalayan. Fur flew everywhere. So, integration may take time (and all my energy). Here is a photo of her finally sitting still. She crawled into the carrier and lay down for the first time in 2 hours.

Curated

Regular readers will be aware of Kim's fetish for chairs and especially photos of dogs on chairs. Most of you won't know that she particularly has a thing for whippets, rescue greyhounds and Italian greyhounds. Here's a perfect picture for you Kim!

Dogs...should I?

I need a dog like I need more furniture. However, I stopped to pet a dog that was tied up outside the restaurant where we ate breakfast (I'll stop and pet any dog within arm's reach) and it really hit me how badly I want a dog. Not good. This house is on the small side and as most of you know, I already have 4 cats. I hope my mother doesn't read this because I'll get a lecture (mixed in with Italian swear words). Anyway, the first 2 photos are by Pete Gosselin and the others from Daily Puppy.

Below is Simone, a 12 week old boxer who has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Dogs on chairs

"THE SEVEN DEITIES
In a diaphonous light, eight dogs rest on seven magnificent chairs. With their aristocratic poise and gentle countenance, they reveal a sublime personality touched by the hand of God."
