Pets & Furniture

By Heidi @missfinn

Every Monday, Desire to Inspire posts “Pets on Furniture” which is a post all about, you guessed it – pets on furniture. If you’re having a slow start to your week I recommend you check it out because there is sure to be a picture that will make your day. Often there is a short and sweet tale attached to the animal in the picture (pardon the pun) and it’s not always dogs and cats either. They have basic rules when submitting your pictures; first, the pet must be on a piece of furniture, but it must look as if it is a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off and your pet happens to be sitting on it. Plus the photo must of of a decent quality and no closeups of your pet.  I guess over time some of these rules become a bit lax as I have definitely seen pictures published where the furniture can barely be seen as the pet is lounging all over it!   Anyway, here are a few of my recent favourites for you to enjoy.

Finn the ginger tom.

Tulip and Nigella.

Pepper the Dachshund on an Eames rocker.

Lua.

Baleia on a Florence Knoll armchair.

Dardo the bull terrier puppy on a vintage tulip chair.

As you can probably tell, it was difficult to narrow down my favourites. I especially adore the last dog because I grew up with bull terriers and they are very loyal, adorable animals, their cuteness definitely underestimated.

I take so many pictures of my gorgeous labrador Jet curled up on our bed or in our papa san chair on the deck that I definitely going to submit a photo for Desire to Inspire’s Pets on Furniture. I’ll let you know if they post her on their blog.
