Comforts Of Home

When things are particularly hectic, it’s nice to be reminded of the little constants in life.  Like the way Luna will always interrupt an intense session on her scratching post to help me with laundry.   This includes burrowing under towels, attacking loose socks and playing hide and seek inside the basket while my hot clothes become increasingly wrinkled.    I’m looking forward to the weekend that will include other traditions like cooking up a big breakfast with my boyfriend, shopping with girlfriends and celebrating the first night of Shark Week.

She is sooo cute. It’s great if she helps you to do the laundry. ^^

10 Emily at BonBon! { 07.30.10 at 2:00 am }

Haha! My mom has a cat named Luna who we affectionately nicknamed The Sock Monster, because missing socks could always be traced back to her…

It’s definitely the little things in life that hold the most happiness. Happy (almost) weekend!

my cat Lula is exactly the same! She’ll then go to sleep in the basket so I can’t do the washing

Luna is soooo cute!!
My doggie just passed away and the house in incredibly empty without him running around. Animals make a home in my opinion…

Pets are great. I just got a dog to train to be a Leader Dog for the Blind. Her breeding is amazing and she shows great promise as a “leader” You can see her photo here.

You have an adorable cat with such a beautiful name, Luna sounds amazing! x

24 Kate { 07.30.10 at 4:21 am }

Pets are the wonderful, aren’t they? I’m not big on cats, but I don’t know how I got by without my dog, Cookie. She is the most sweet, smart and snugly little companion I’ve ever had. I hope you have a terrific weekend!

26 Clare { 07.30.10 at 4:40 am }

Hey Emily! I’ve been following your blog for the last year and it has been so much fun! Feel special- I use google reader and your blog is the only one I’m willing to click on to get to the photos! :)

I had a quick question for you- I was inspired to hang my necklaces off of door knobs like you did in your bathroom. How did you get the knobs on the walls? Drills? Also, I got some from Anthro, some of them had a little knobby thingy at the end …. do those not work??? Thanks a lot in advance!! Have a fun weekend!!

Your cat is so adorable. I’ve got a little Yorkie and she loves playing in a cat tunnel just like that, except hers is a bit narrower.

41 Becca { 07.30.10 at 6:38 am }

There’s something about pets – they just KNOW when something is up. My dog is definitely the same way, and I love how she is fascinated with the littlest things – folding laundry especially.

Becca

42 Jessica { 07.30.10 at 6:40 am }

Ohh Shark Week! Seriously obsessed.

http://www.ciaobellablog13.blogspot.com/

43 ChellBellz { 07.30.10 at 6:51 am }

My cat helps out by sneaking in the dryer and laying on the clothes while their still hot…sucks that one time my mom forget he was in there…what a day…he was paranoid and loopy for a day or two.

44 Lisa { 07.30.10 at 6:57 am }

my dog does the same with my fresh laundry! he wants to snuggle in it, wrinkling all my clean clothes!

45 Kelly { 07.30.10 at 6:58 am }

Yay for Shark Week!

46 BelledeCouture { 07.30.10 at 7:00 am }

Aw, totally reminds me of my 3 kitties…especially my 1 cat, Snickers…she attacks that scratching post like no other…and I love the cat tunnel…my cats had cat cubes but I was getting obsessive with attaching them to make an obstacle course, and decided…ehhh that isn’t the most attractive piece to have in the living room.. haha..so now they are no more! But they DO have a sweet wicker house, with detachable roof, and leopard pillow inside to sleep on…do they use it though? heck no! They prefer cheaper toys I guess…it always works out that way hahaha :)
Very cute post…it’s nice to be reminded of the simple things in life that make us so happy…you’re a humble gal, very real…I like that! :D

wow Luna is pretty! i have 3 dogs, and one of them, Pepper, has a sock fetish. she’s the reason i don’t leave clothes out of the hamper!
Happy Shark Week!!

48 Taylor { 07.30.10 at 7:16 am }

HEHE! I just posted a pic today of my Baby (my dog) helping with me laundry too!!!! There is nothing like creature comforts to help keep you sane and relaxed!!! (I am glad that Shark week is not only something I am into!:) (

49 Patricia { 07.30.10 at 7:19 am }

55 Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic { 07.30.10 at 8:05 am }

Our cat just discovered the dryer – lord help me. He gets in when we take the clothes out because it’s warm – thankfully I don’t shut him in there and he’s a big enough cat to make noise. He also loves warm laundry, it’s a never ending battle to get him off my clothes – he’s black just like Luna and sheds all the time.

56 Hello Pretty { 07.30.10 at 8:23 am }

Aww- cat’s are so fun. I am obsessed w/ mine, he’s always cracking me up. Have a great weekend! xo- karrie

64 Closet Cravings { 07.30.10 at 10:01 am }

Aren’t cats the best? I have two munchkin cats and they are the cutest. My one cat likes to burrow under blankets. If I’m in bed, she will come up and try to get under the covers. Once she under them, she’ll start purring and just sleep. I really don’t mind being called the “cat lady.” =)

65 Melanie { 07.30.10 at 10:12 am }

Luna is precious!
Komi like to attack my feet when Im walking to the laundry
room, or out of it causing all the clothes to fall on the floor.
He’s silly.

66 Bre { 07.30.10 at 10:36 am }

Aww! Luna is beyond adorable! And so helpful with household chores ;) I miss having an animal around-they truly are the life of the party and what make a house a home. I am SO excited for Shark Week! I want to make these Martha Stewart shark cupcakes http://www.marthastewart.com/article/shark-and-beach-cupcakes

Have a great weekend!

It’s sweet that she’s so helpful! I’m sure she’s super good at laundry, too.
So sad I’ll be missing the annual shark week extravaganza!

68 Jamie { 07.30.10 at 10:52 am }

She’s so cute. I have been thinking about getting a pet lately…I had an opportunity to adopt a kitten but I just travel too much. I used to have 2 cats and they were the best. They are like little family members! :)

Hehe, I know what you mean, my kittens have to help with everything! As soon as shopping is brought home they have to get in the bags, they have to get in boxes, in the wash baskets and pull towels off of rails lol! They even put socks all over the house :)

72 Nadette @ Eat, Read, Rant! { 07.30.10 at 11:27 am }

luna is a laundry helper! My mini poodle is the same way, he’s notorious for stealing rolled socks. It make me laugh every time, lol.

76 The Lil Bee { 07.30.10 at 1:29 pm }

Isn’t it so adorable how pets do things that would ordinarily annoy you, however they’re so cute, you can’t help but laugh?! Paco has a way of constantly stealing Devon’s toys, plus he used to chase after anything with wheels (skateboards, roller blades, strollers) when we lived in the city. Made for VERY hectic walks around the block, but now I look back and laugh at his playfulness. Have a great weekend, Em…calm and relaxing:) xo
