So hub and I have plenty of chuckles about the various episodes of Portlandia and this week while we've been looking at our carpets we keep thinking that it'd be the perfect next theme for an episode: pet inspired decor! In our case it's feathers from bird kill and dog bones! :)
Now I need to make clear that we usually don't leave feathers from birds hanging out on our area rugs BUT the vacuum stopped last week and we have on order a new belt for it. Until it arrives, the vacuum will suck up dirt and not dog fur (or feathers!), so until then we're chuckling at each carpet viewing! (The feathers are spread under the entire table.)
These are the best dog bones we've ever had. My mom picked them up somewhere and gave them to the dogs on our visit in December. The dogs have yet to make it through any of the four bones but haven't given up on them. No matter how many times we stack them up somewhere in the house, by the end of the day, they're back littering our carpets.
So should you be looking for new decor inspiration---just let your animals go wild and don't pick up after them! Give a whole new meaning to the Portlandia terminology of put a bird on it (although the bird itself got taken outside)....or in this case, put a bone on it.
On a side note: Major also has an uncanny habit of tracking muddy footprints all over the bathroom and last night he knocked an entire glass of water off my nightstand---so I guess he's really wanting to get into some interior design business. ;)
