So often when we decorate our homes, we tend to forget about the residence of our animals.  Did we do anything to make their resident area better or more attractive to meet the changes throughout the home? Did we redecorate the dog house or buy a new one?

Just think, this is a new dog house with stairs and a view from the top.  The dog could be very happy in this new residence and very excited about being able to run up the stairs and look from the top of the house. This dog house has a view that can be fun.

And when the dog is in his owners residence, he can still live the “Good Life” by having a dog bed that might be located in the area that the family would designate as the best place for it.  The beds will vary according to size, comfort, style and texture.   Some beds are known as nestling beds, some are referred to as support beds, some are lounging beds,  some are the mammoth beds, etc. 

This bed is known as the Snuggle-Up/Simply  Suede/Cozy style dog bed.  It is styled in faux fur, covered on the sides and on the back of the two small pillows with engraved tan leather. There is also a blanket that is trimmed with that same tan leather.  On the bed is a toy for the dog to play with.  I thought that this bed was so cool and it made an interesting design statement.  It is very light weight and quite lovely.  Just think, the dog has two pillows for resting his head and a light blanket to cover him when he sleeps.

what about clothing for your dog?  Research indicates that the majority of dog owners do not want or buy clothing for their dogs.  However, I thought that it might be interesting to share this fashion information.  As it is today, even dogs can make a fashion statement. It does not mean that buying dog clothing is a sign that the dog is living the “Good Life,” but this is merely another way to show what is available for the dogs, when everything around them is being beautified. 

Whatever you decide to do, your dog will only love you more.  Remember, the dog is like a member of the family.  Just like you decorate your children’s room and the guest room, what about your close friend/family member - your dog?  Why not show your dog that same attention and love.

Share with us what positive changes you have made lately in your dog or pet’s life?  How have you shown your pet/s that you appreciate them?  Did you decorate for your pet’s living area when you decorated your home?  We would love to hear from you!
