I personally allow my cats on furniture, just not tables/counters. ;)Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453392492858900284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-22667835734399522082011-06-14T22:30:36.789-04:002011-06-14T22:30:36.789-04:00I have two dogs and they are forever shedding hair...I have two dogs and they are forever shedding hair so they arent allowed in the house (except just inside the door on a mat) but they have their own fluffy bed to sleep on- a kennel and a day bed :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770717275837580587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-91121599077181147772011-06-04T12:39:47.987-04:002011-06-04T12:39:47.987-04:00Oh, I'm just catching up with you...and I love...Oh, I'm just catching up with you...and I love this post! Ella looks so comfy and content on your lovely bed. Miss. Ginger the Doxie loves to be on the bed but she's stays on her blanket that we put at the food of the bed. She does try to get 'under' the covers every now and then though but that's a no-no. We have an ottoman next to the bed so she can jump up but at fourteen, that's getting a little tricky. I love having her all snuggled up next to me though, wouldn't have it any other way.<br />When we had cats, they were there too, and no, you can't train a cat to do anything they don't want!<br />xo J~24 Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630767883910250689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-59112502465052435372011-05-26T20:09:00.456-04:002011-05-26T20:09:00.456-04:00I've never read one of your posts that I didn&...I've never read one of your posts that I didn't love but I must say, this is one of my favorites.

From that day forward, I've let my dogs on our furniture. In fact, we bought a Cali King bed specifically for our 4 greyhounds in their bedroom. And we tested at least 100 sofas for our family room so there was enough room for my 6'4" husband and at least 2 dogs to comfortably lay down at the same time. <br /><br />My dad's so smart. :) <br /><br />Blogger won't let me log in - PaulaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-87678157894050560782011-05-24T07:30:33.556-04:002011-05-24T07:30:33.556-04:00That second image is the cutest I have ever seen. ...That second image is the cutest I have ever seen.

We are lucky that our pets let US on the furniture. Even our blind cocker spaniel foster, Babe, finds her way on to the furniture. She knows when it's bedtime and she jumps up on our bed. (she's a bit of a bed hog)<br />I love it that you allow Ella on your beautiful bed. Ours is always covered in a sheet to protect my things.

At first, it was so cute how they tried to get up on the sofa/chair. Now at 85 lbs they make themselves at home and slipcovers are a way of life. But less so in my bedrooms.

They are family to us and all of my furniture was purchased with washable slipcovers (white slipcovers...2 black cats...funny, but it works). I have hardwood floors and no wall-to-wall carpeting. My vacuum and steamer are my best cleaning buddies. Yes, there is hair floating around on a daily basis but it is a small price to pay for the company of these sweet little friends.The Mermaid Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894246905322068607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-90424492296804527752011-05-21T21:49:04.441-04:002011-05-21T21:49:04.441-04:00Nope.
