houses should be lived in…



….and dogs should be on sofas!


Well, that is the what my dear friend, Wave, says. She made the wonderful little stitched piece for me and I just could not agree with it more – and neither could Duhgall and Fiona – hence this is why we do not have light colored furniture.

Ok, Fiona….


you can sit on the couch, but laying on the laundry pile will just have to stop. I know….who can resist that sweet look?

    Definitely can't resist the very cute look. I think about that phrase when I use the afghan my mother knit me thirty years ago and think I should be "saving" it. How silly...things are meant to be used and houses should definitely be lived in.

    Oh my goodness. That is the cutest picture. Love the framing too. Today is our Abe's 2nd birthday. (Get it? Abe Lincoln's too....!!) Ha. I wonder at myself sometime that I can remember my dog's birthdays!!!! I have no doubt you understand. Have a nice Valentine's day. Lori L

    Oh I love Fiona's picture today! And my your handmade Scottie collection as well as the fabulous black Wade Scottie is wonderful!! *sigh*. I've been antiquing recently and continue to add to my vintage Scottie planter collection - I think I am going in to doubles of the same colors, but I just can't resist them. I found a sweet little plaque with two Scotties and a poem on it...I plan to give this to my 8 year old son on Valentine's Day. :-)

    I agree 100 percent... on couches, beds, baskets.
    After all we may be pet owners but who really owns who?

    That is so adorable!! And I totally agree with the sentiment -- dogs should be on the sofa. Or in the bed. Or under our feet when we try to walk because it just wouldn't be a normal day in my house if I didn't trip over at least one dog!

    I have to tell you, every time I'm out shopping and I see something with Scotties on it, I think of you and your blog! I love seeing all of the pics of Mr. Duhgall and Fiona.

    That picture is precious. And true as I look around my living room and one of the two dogs is in a chair. Let's not forget the cats. That picture would put a smile on a pet lover's face!

    Becky excuse me for commenting twice, but who could resist those
    eyes on that sweet Fiona. I had to
    come back and look again. Give her
    a smooch for me.

    Wow, now I gotta get one of those!!! I totally agree, houses should be lived in, you can always always tell the difference between a house and a home, especially when there a dogs in the home. We have 3 dogs (mom, dad and son) the 3 of them together aren't big enough to make up a big one, and they all have their spots on the sofas.
