Stealing Webster's Bed

This bed is mine now, says Piggy. Webster doesn't even care. This sheepskin is near a radiator and under a window so it's a perfect guest bed.

Unique Kitchen in An Old Southern House

The hub of the house is also its dressiest room. Over the FiveStar stove is a silver-leaf Napoleon III mirror. The chandelier was fashioned from a pair of antique bronze sconces

The owners wanted the kitchen to have the feel of a traditional dining room — which it was, before the renovation. The sink resembles a buffet; the nine-foot-long oval island, a dining table.

The kitchen's light-filled bay window opens onto a patio and garden. More Photos: House Beautiful

Weekend Retreat

Wouldn't you love to wake up here? This Mayne Island retreat in British Columbia was designed by Johnson + McLeod Design Consultants. via

Goodnight from Piggy

Piggy is fast asleep in his crate and I can hear him snoring across the room. He's exhausted, having been on three long walks since I picked him up after lunch. Webster is happy to see his little friend. Tabitha tolerates him and he ignores her and that's just perfect. His humans are on spring break. See you tomorrow. 

Have a Great Weekend

Be sure to take your dog along if you plan on doing anything really exciting. via

Overslept this Morning

I know exactly how Maddie the Coonhound feels. I got up at my her regular time to let the cat out and went back to bed. It was almost 9 o'clock when I got up again. I'm still adjusting to "fast" time.

Happy Pi Day

The town of Princeton, NJ goes all out for Pi Day every year. It's for math geeks in celebration of the equation 3.14 and it's also today's date 3/14.

Sheep in The Morning

Sheep in the morning. The sun has burned off the mist where they are grazing but hasn't reached the valley behind them. via

Chalkboard Wall in Dining Area

The shopping list on the wall made me laugh when I got to the last item. via

My Happy Dog

What? All for me?

Happiness is: A new supply of biscuits! A whole box fits perfectly in this old glass cheese preserver. I always buy the small treats because I can give the wonder dog 3 or 4 instead of only a single big one and there are no crumbs left on the floor. He can count, you know. 

Sweet Peas

Pretty soon it will be time to plant your lovely climbing sweet peas. via

This looks like my kind of place! If I ever go to Austin Texas, I will definitely check it out. via

Dog in A Wheelbarrow

I'm posting this photo because it gave me such a good idea. I have a big contractor's wheelbarrow in the garage and the body is hideous orange plastic. I rarely use it and keep it hidden. The first nice day, I'm going to fill it up with warm water and give Webster a bath in it. One of my outside hose connections has hot and cold running water. He's pretty stinky at the moment and he will love it. via
