Pet

WARNING: Many images in this post will cause audible, uncontrollable “awwwws” and may result in your spontaneously opening your home to a new puppy. (Note: I am not anti-cat.)

What they might do in wear and tear they more than make up for in companionship (and as a key home accessory).

And there’s nothing like shopping for accessories for a new puppy. Because we adopted our puppy from a rescue organization in the South, we had to wait a couple weeks for her to be delivered. This allowed for ample shoppertunities!

Here are some ways that other rescuers prepared for their new arrivals (via the rescue organization’s Facebook page). Can you imagine how much fun they had?

There are many types of beds to choose from, from soft and open…

… to private (with a splash of diva):

I just love this smart and sassy pet room. (Photo: Pinterest)

Some lucky pets get their own thoughtful space created expressly for them (lucky dog!):

Of course, you may find your new best friend prefers your sofa for a nice nap:

Awwwwww. (Photo: Dog of the Day)

Pets can also be a nice focal point of a room as a darling accessory:

What a lucky dog. Really makes the room! (Photo: Houzz)

If your home needs a friendly, fuzzy accessory, be sure to check out Adoptapet.com or Petfinder.com. You just might be surprised how the dog you rescue will actually rescue you!

And what a great excuse to go shopping at HomeGoods for darling pet accessories!

I’ll leave you with photos of our Keuka and her litter-mates, who were originally on Petfinder.com a year ago. And yes, we’re officially rescued.

Tell me about your dog! Where do they sleep, what are their favorite toys, etc!
