October is adopt a dog month?

October 3rd, 2014 - 12:12 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and adopting dogs lovers.  I wonder who comes up with all of the causes that fit all of the months?  Then you break it down and there are different days for different causes.  It’s just too much for me. Daisy Lynn has deemed that all months are adopt a dog month…so there!

That being said, County Living did an article called:

20 Decorating Ideas for a Dog-Friendly Living Room
Dogs are an important part of our homes, so why overlook them when it comes to decorating? In celebration of Adopt-a-Dog Month in October, we challenged our editors to design four cozy sitting nooks each inspired by iconic country pooches.
By Laurren Welch

I guess the basset hound is considered an iconic country pooche!  hehehe

Dapper & Distinguished

THE DOG: Agnes, a 3-year-old basset hound who likes to snooze on her favorite chair almost as much as she enjoys wolfing down her favorite snack: scrambled eggs.

THE DIGS: A mix of warm colors, dashing prints, and cozy textures make for a polished and dignified reading lair—no bones about it!

LEATHER WINGBACK: The traditional profile, pet-friendly leather upholstery, and nailhead trim are worthy of the most esteemed master (or his dog).  (Hawthorne Leather Wing Chair, $2,180; four
hands.com. Miles Floor Lamp, $485; schoolhouse
electric.com)

PLAID WALLPAPER: Move over, houndstooth. This sporty plaid and its collegiate color-way evoke an old-school, hunting-lodge vibe.  (Regent’s Glen Wallpaper, $58.99/roll; yorkwall.com)

STATELY BOOKSHELF: Complete with bronze label tags, this well-priced oak bookshelf is seriously handsome.  (Barrister bookcase (35″ wide), $209.99; sauder.com)

SQUATTY FOOTSTOOL: Kick up your feet on this low-to-the-ground, hide-upholstered footstool reminiscent of the basset’s short, sturdy build.  (Cowhide Ottoman (similar to shown), $425; thecowpelt.etsy.com)

Agnes is no slouch when it comes to high priced country living! 

If you are interested in seeing the other rooms you can click here and go to the other three “pooches”.  None as cute as Agnes but that is just my opinion!  LOL

More loving dog friendly spaces later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB knowing that Mamma lives in a dog house;)

PS – Thank you Grandma for showing me the article!

    Ollie makes himself at home in any room! It is funny but he has stuff in every room. It is very comfy here.

    Wow. Queen Agnes maybe? Prices are too high for me. My hounds must be really mistreated!
