Our favorite dog, Doria

If you have a dog, you know how much joy pups bring to your everyday life. They're always happy to see you, they do silly things, & they can be downright adorable. While I consider myself a cat person at heart, I have become completely smitten with my girlfriend's dog Doria. Since moving in together, I consider Doria an important part of my life. She keeps us busy, & brings positive energy to our home.

Here are my top links on our happy tail-wagging pals.

// Top Links of the Week // 

• Tips for Pet Photography // This tutorial gives insight on what it takes to get a great pet photo (hint: it involves treats).
• Otis Barkington // My new favorite follow on Instagram is Otis Barkington (@otisbarkington). What an adorable name for an adorable dog. If you love smiling every day,  I recommend following him.
• DIY Porch Swing // First off, put a pet in your tutorial photo & I'm sold. It's a sure-fire way to get me interested (& to start making embarrassingly squeaky noises). Second, I'm super impressed with this project & how clean & professional it turned out. Definitely go check it out.
• DIY Vintage Suitcase Dog Bed // While our dog Doria might be a smidge too big for this kind of bed (she has some great dane in her background), that doesn't stop me from wanting to make one. Maybe the cat will take to it.
• Pet Silhouettes // This is a beautiful & ingenious way to show love for your pup. Silhouettes are not just for people!
• 12 Human Foods You Didn't Know Could Kill Your Dog // The pouty face your pup makes can be pretty convincing, but Spots doesn't know what can & cannot harm him. Here's a list of foods that can be dangerous & sometimes fatal (who knew dogs couldn't eat grapes?). 
• Homemade Dog Biscuits with Flax Seed // Since our dog has many allergies & health issues, we're always on the lookout for alternatives to regular treats & food. These dog treats from White on Rice Couple include flax seed, which helps make a doggy's coat shine. 

Are you more of a dog person or a dedicated cat lady?
