Hands down, best of the year end round up posts. Thanks for the smiles!
You could live in an empty cardboard box, but if a dog lives in it with you, it will feel like a real home.
My house is worthless without my pets. Thanks for this post!
Pets are pretty much always a highlight of any house tour for me.
One thing, though, ' Wendy's Boston Terrier, Oscar' looks more like a Frenchie to me. Not that it matters because he is adorable either way.
aww they are all adorable!
I am happy I adopted another one after living dog-less for a year , the house was empty.
I rather have some dirt now and then then a heartless home.
Our home doesn't feel right without our grey and brown tabby, Mr. Pussy. Yes, that's his name!
I would totally buy a "Furry Residents of Apartment Therapy" coffee table book, especially if a portion of the proceeds were to go to local rescues.
Psssttt, Olivia (#2)
I'm all for going au naturel, but I can lend you my waxing kit if you like.
Purrfect either way!
As much as I love this piece, it makes me squirm a little. Every pet is the Best Pet, and it pains me to think of the ones you left out (not to mention their loving owners)!
I have a (are you ready?) half Chihuahua half Border Collie with wild, random tufts of hair, exophthalmic eyes, autistic lack of connection, and did I mention, three legs? If he were in your contest and you'd left him out, I'd have been heartbroken. He's very loyal, he tries hard, and, to me, he's hilariously precious-looking.
I have an idea for next year's pet article: put them ALL in. Because that's where they all belong.
Sometimes a house is not a home without someone fluffy laying around.
I'm always happy to see the pets of AT tours!
Fuffnona - LOL.
I love these posts. Seeing a little pile of fur curled up someplace really makes the house cozier.
i just lost my kitty of 14 years and my lovely home seems awfully empty with out her, she was a rescue cat, and i will rescue another, from dumplings' owner D
Torahchick, I hope you have a new sidekick. It just ain't fine without the fe-line.
