So recently my mom and dad decided to upgrade my living room carpet situation to something a little thicker, a little softer, and a lot more “scratch your back” friendly. After a little shopping trip to the West Elm Outlet in my area my parents came home with this fun rug…
And if you’re wondering how I liked it, just watch for yourself….
Nothing beats a new (white) carpet to scratch your back on! 
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and since I’m my Mom’s only “fur child” I thought I’d round up some ideas that would be fit for any Doggie Mom! (Just don’t show this to my mom!)
1. Personalized Paper Doll Family by Jordan Grace Owens on Etsy
2. Mother’s Day is for Dog Moms Too Card by MMCC on Etsy
3. Claudia Pearson Dog Plates from West Elm
4. Best in Show Dish Towel from Anthropologie
5. The Dachshund League Two Dog Purse by Julietteenrose on Etsy
Being a Blogger (and facebook celebrity) pretty much means that I spend a lot of time locked in my office writing away. Only up until recently my blogging space wasn’t really up to my amazing design standards. So after some begging and pleading, and a few sad puppy faces, Mom and Dad agreed to give my office a makeover.
Welcome to my new office, won’t you join me for the tour?
Fabulous right? The best parts are in the details, because it’s quite obvious that my personal style (and overall good looks) have taken over the space completely….
A is for Ammo and everything that is awesome!
My Reserve Champ ribbon from the Keystone Dachshund Races last year proudly hangs on my cork board along with my favorite photo of me and Minnow the Chincoteague Pony.
Everything about my new office is happy and bright….just like me!
At the end of the day, the most important thing is the function – and after taking it for a test spin, my new office passes the Ammo the Dachshund standards test.
Suddenly I’m inspired to be way more creative – building more rocket packs, digging more holes, and painting more pictures.
There’s adventures to be had right outside my window!
Just as soon as I finish my afternoon nap!
I don’t know about you, but at my house, the couch is mine! I like to watch my shows on there in the evening, there seems to me no shortage of warm laps to share, and it’s where I snuggle up in blankets for the night. So I figure since it’s MINE, I should probably get to decorate it however I like. That’s why I picked out these fun pet pillows for today’s Friday Fetch.
As part of an exclusive collaboration with west elm, noted pet portraitist Scott Lifshutz created a series of new paintings, including a happy pack of four-legged friends, a hound, and a horse, which are printed in artful watercolor-style silhouette on cotton pillow covers using a special technique to capture and preserve all of the painterly details and nuances of Scott’s originals.
He also designed a series of fun appetizer plates featuring some furry four-legged friends. You can check them out here.
You can fetch Scott’s designs at West Elm for $19 – $29
