Monday's pets on furniture - part 1

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 me closeups of your pet!)

***Pets on furniture will be put on hold for the next couple of weeks while I am on holidays. Feel free to continue submitting photos to me. I will resume these posts on March 14th.

P.S. I'd like to wish my husband a very happy thirty something birthday! How about a trip to Mexico for your pressie? :-) Love you Jeffrey!!

Here is my kitten Harriet-who I usually just refer to as Muffin Top ( "...is all that whole grain low fat" 30 rock anyone? )- on a mid-century looking chair i found for five whole dollars  recently. Two of my favorite things.

Pierre on (his) ottoman.

Here's a pic of my German Shepherd Major Dukes, lying pretty in a '29 Spanish Revival apartment in Hollywood, CA. Of course, he's got a Facebook fan page, too.

My cats, Izzie (aka The Biz) and Mr. Mischief Monkey Man Poopstinks (aka Monkey, The Poop, or Mischief P. Stinks) taking over the couch. 
- Kerriann (Norman, OK)

This is my 3-year old labrador Gromit enjoying couch in sunshine.

1. While shooting Emily Schuman's incredible home, I was lucky enough to snap this shot of Luna... she is a sweet but shy kitty

2. This dynamic duo belong to crafty modern quilter Alissa Haight-Carlton, and they are not afraid to show you how cute they are.

This is Felix, my daughter’s cat. She would be so happy seeing it in your blog.

This is our black lab Porter.  We’ve been fighting him for 9 years to stay off the furniture, but we’ve pretty much given up.  This is one of his favorite spots. 
- Carrie & Ryan

This is by far my cats' favorite place to hang out in the apartment. The window overlooks I-90 and Lake Union in Seattle, so there is no shortage of things to look at, and facing west gives them a good amount of lazy day sun to enjoy (when we actually have sun, that is...).
- Rebecca

Our little guys name is MAX he's an 8 year old Yorkshire terrier, and He LOVES our new Wing back!!
- Ashli

Penelope's favorite spot in the house is our bed - she loves perching herself up at the end of the bed to watch youtube videos of other dogs on the TV. She also loves burrowing underneath the covers and finding a warm spot behind my knees. Sometimes we'll come into the room and she has built a fort out of the pillows - and you'll only see her eyes peeking over the top :)

Miffy catnapping on my reclaimed wooden bar stool from the building site of a knocked down Dalston pub, against a backdrop of several years worth of vintage suitcases collected from car boot sales, skips, charity shops and the streets of London.
- Emilie (London, UK)

My king charles cavalier, Ginger doing what she does best...rest and relax on my living room sofa. Mohair is hard to resist!
- Jennifer (Summit, New Jersey)

I've got some pics to submit again. This time its my English Bulldog, Butterball. She always finds different places to snooze but i thought this was really cute. She's lying on my "magic carpet" on my striped rug. All the colors came together so beautifully. So much viibrance and yet there she was in this vibrant setting sound asleep.
- Stephanie

Here is Pumpernickel, four months old, sitting on my amazing "As is" IKEA find (200$ instead of 400$). The second photo was taken by Daniel Kudish, pet (and wedding) photographer, when she was about two months old.
- Magali (Montreal)

This is Igby! My four month old Shih Tzu.
- Jessie

Here's our rescue beagle, Molly Ivins, on two of my favorite pieces of furniture: the consignment shop Century Furniture club chair, and the faux-grass estate sale chair. Though these are family heirlooms, both  
are greatly improved by the addition of Miss Molly!
- Jenny

Pls find attached the photo of our family dog. It is called Enzo and he is 6 years old.
- Maria Jose (Mallorca, Spain)

My husband and I just adopted our little 3 year old Beagle/Foxhound named January from the Ottawa Humane Society 2 weeks ago and we love her.  She has made herself right at home on our 2 vintage turquoise arm chairs.
