For many of us, pets are part of what it means to be home - even if that home is a small one. We couldn't help but notice the many dogs and cats living (and often, lounging) in the homes of Small Cool entrants this year. Some are ready for their closeup and AT debut while others are practically hidden in the landscape of these small, stylish spaces. Get out your lint brushes and check out the pets of Small Cool 2012 and the places they call home:

Pets rule, of course!
They make it "home".
As much as all of these pets are cute as a button, I'm a big-dog kinda gal so my favs are #5 and #19 but I do agree with MSHU for sure.
I love how the pets look so at home in their fantastic spaces. They really do make a house a home! Makes me feel peaceful just seeing them. Special props to the cozy beagle!
Mekko!
The #16 is SO lovely!!!
Is this blatant pandering to the pet lovers amongst us? Probably.
Do I care? No. More pets plz!
I love how they have all staked their claim on the comfy chair/couch! Awesome post. <3
Love these!
My favourite weekly design feature is Desire to Inspire's Pets On Furniture every Monday.
Amy's greyhound - woohoo!!!
I live in a country of dog lovers (France) where I am a property finder for clients wanting to buy or rent. Much as I appreciate the comments noted above, when it comes to selling property, most ptoential buyers are put off by the evidence of pets and many a sale will collapse because of this. Difficult to square the circle on this one!

:) I love seeing people's pets almost as much as seeing their homes.
I love the yawning Boston, they're the greatest!
