FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

August 14, 2007

I allow my dogs on the furniture. I know some people don’t, but I do. Strategies for preventing too much dogification include putting comforters bought at garage sales on the sofas and using extra flat sheets as a top sheet over the duvet on the bed. Still, I buy dog beds. I cannot help myself.

We already had 2 big, round dog beds in the house. They are green, so we call them “Lilly Pads.”

During a recent monthly jaunt off the mountain to Costco, I found another sofa-like bed that I just had to buy. We didn’t really need it, but it was so cute, and it kind of matched the rug in my office.

About the Author Roxanne Hawn

Trained as a traditional journalist and based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA, I'm a full-time freelance writer for magazines, websites, and private clients. My areas of specialty include everything in the lifestyles arena, including health and home, personal finance and other consumer interests, relationships and trends, people and business profiles ... and, of course, all things pet related.

I don't just love dogs. I need them in my life. Seriously.

  1. Yes, they do have very similar builds. I like athletic-looking dogs, with a big difference from chest to waist. Not sure why. My first dog (the Dal) had that same build. And our yellow-lab-mix (Cody) that we had before Ginko was built much like Lilly. So … you probably won’t see me writing about say … a pug … any time. :o)

    I’ll try to post more photos. For the first time in my life, I’m regretting that my cell phone doesn’t have a camera in it. I’m forever wanting to document something for the blog, but I don’t have a camera.

    So, I’ll try to do better. Promise. Thanks again for visiting.

  2. Lilly is such a pretty girl! Why don’t you post more pictures of her?
    And..I’m sure you must realize this…Ginko has a very similar build to Lilly’s. You defintiely have a preferred body type for dogs, don’t you?
