the solace of home

Today Dental Student and I switched places. That's how I found out what Havi does all day. She found her favorite summer spot, on our balcony! We recognize all we have out there is our BBQ, table with two chairs and her blanket. We just decorated the rest of the apartment, if your remember previous posts and some things get decorated before others. We didn't realize Havi would pose so frequently out there!
I frequently lament that Havi won't sit still for any pictures, but apparently in her Favorite Place, the picture taking opportunities are abundant.
Havi does not like mugging for the camera, but she knew a belly rub was coming if she sat. (Yes, she knows her ears are uneven - but you're not perfect either!)
What's your pup's favorite summer spot? And throw us ideas for sprucing ours up on our Grad Student budget!

  2. Hey Havi!
    Wow, great balcony spot for snoozing in the summertime! BTW: I love your ears...just the way they are!! My favorite summer spot is out in my yard, sleeping in the sun.

  3. that is the perfect spot for Havi and how cool she can watch the world go by. My favorite summer spot is laying of the air conditioning vents and letting the cool air blow on my chest and tummy - hey if you had a big furry coat like mine - you would love it too.

    here are two ideas for you:
    some easy-to-make big planters to put plants in: http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/outdoor/make-a-modern-planter-from-pavers-119223
    and a great and colorful outdoor rug: http://www.amazon.com/Turkish-Pattern-Reversible-All-Weather-Floor/dp/tech-data/B002HT07R8

  5. Ahh! So jealous of your balcony! I wish we had a nice outdoor space like that. (Btw, I couldn't help but notice the background in your pictures. I think we attend the same school. :)

  6. What a great balcony. We like the porch and the trees on the side of the house.

  7. I love seeing the balcony photos! And Aleksandra is full of good ideas. I second the flowers; they make such a difference, as does the outdoor rug. They also make grassmats that are good for covering the whole floor (they sell really cheaply on ebay or at Ikea) and I like the big dog pillow for outside. Mr. B loves laying outside too, so we got him a special Ikea floor pillow we bring out for him.

  8. So far we haven't used our mini-balcony much this year, I am curious if Molly will like it. Her favorite spot right now is still the living room rug, it is her little safety zone that she always resorts back to. HOwever, I think her favorite spot of all is sitting in the backseat of the car with her nose poking out of the window. I agree with flowers and a rug, we found some bright, fun, outdoor rugs at home depot for 29 bucks!
