Closeup: Photogenic Pets from House Tours

9-26-pets-6.jpg
As Pet Design month is almost over, we're featuring the most photogenic pets we've encountered on our recent house tours. We've found that some pets hide out-of-sight, but certain pets are very eager to pose for AT photographs. These pets know just how to pose best in a way that compliments their homes. More below the jump, including a preview of an upcoming house tour...

My dog would probably get caught in the action of destroying something precious to me in those photos.
I think a pet page would be amazing!

I totally agree. We NEED a whole section dedicated to pets! My cats here are begging!

Also, AT is such a popular site. Pet product peddling is a huge business. Advertisers would be chomping at the bit to get a piece of your action. But more than that, AT still has a community feel to it and local posts promoting good groomers, shelters, kennels, mom and pop stores, etc. would only increase that community appeal. Combined with cute/sophisticated design and DIY tips from your readers? What more could you ask for? I wouldn't even care if you reposted every single past pet post on the page just to get it rolling.

a section to navigate to pet stuff would be awesome,
but an outdoor / landscaping section even better.

I don't really care one way or the other about a pet page because I don't have pets (currently), but I'm sure going to miss seeing pictures of cute little ol' Bacon!

spins, agreed, Bacon is a-dog-able! (but one can go to Flickr for a massive dose)

Can we please have a Doggies only page? I am extremely alergic to cats and not to crazy about them either and looking at alot of cats makes me itchy and annoyed.

Considering I love my pet more than my couch - I think it deserves its own site. How to live with Pets and still be stylish - what a challenge that has been! White crypton slipcovers are necessary. What crypton can't get out - bleach does!
