Monday's pets on furniture (and something special)

via desiretoinspire.net by kim on 2/20/12

If you'd like to send me photos to include in next week's "pets on furniture" post, please ensure your photos follow my 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 closeups of your pet!)

1 - How to pose for photos...and where

It's not really furniture but its a new wood burning stove!
- Ariel (New Suffolk, New York)

This is my pug Koko celebrating her 12^th birthday on Valentine's Day by hanging out on the antique bed I picked up at an estate sale. The vintage quilt is also an estate sale find.
- Carol (Pittsburgh PA)

This is our Cat sitting on stitz.
- Anna-Maria (Estonia)

Here's my former housemate Snoop. We were together ever since I got my own place. But I had to give him up for adoption after childbirth. How I miss him so :(
- Lane (Philippines)

My kitty Ralphie napping on my flea market find.
- Suzanne (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Tthis is my cat Luna. For some strange reason lately she likes to chill out on my new DIY-chevron desk! Sometimes I feel really lucky that I can still watch the tv! In the back you can see my favorite lamp that I bought on the internet.
- Verónica (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

my sons dog, always find him waiting
- Rose (Oklahoma City)

This is my dog Ollie. He's one of the most full of energy excitable dog you'll ever meet but when he's spent he crashes and always looks so cute doing it.

I was contacted recently by Graham, a trustee of a cat rescue organization in the UK called the St. Francis Hospice for Cats. He heard the story about my stray cat Desiree and wants to include it in their March newsletter. This is a registered charity that cares for chronically sick, elderly and terminally ill cats. The story of how this charity came about and how they are managing now is quite sad (read about it here). I was more than happy to blog about this wonderful organization in the hopes to gain them some exposure and donations. What they do is amazing, especially after reading the history of some of their residents (including several who have FIV). Graham kindly send along several photos of some of these sweethearts which are below. So please spread the word about this wonderful charity and make a donation HERE if you can.
