Dog Days

Y'all know I'm a huge animal lover (I used to work at the Humane Society here in Atlanta) so of course this editorial shot by Emily Shur for PAPER magazine is right up my alley. What's really awesome, though, is the message behind it: Please rescue before you shop! Amen, PAPER mag.

Bambi on Desire to Inspire!

My baby girl Bambi (and half the reason for the name of this blog) made her blog debut yesterday on Desire to Inspire's Pets on Furniture feature and I was so proud that she made the cut ;) Here is the photo:

 Because Desire to Inspire is an interior design blog, not a cute pet blog, I had to have some furniture in there. Here are some more of my favorite photos of Bambi aka Bam aka the Boo aka the Baby Alligator aka Beiben (thanks to my God son Sully)

with Sully, my god son - they are about the same age and best friends ;)
