We tried as hard as we could to keep our pets Jack and Lily off the furniture. We did. But in the end, we surrendered.
The truth is, they don’t know they’re not people. They want the comfortable chair, the sunny spot, the soft sofa (remember that white slipcover incident?). If you were a pup, wouldn’t you claim the coziest place in the room? Of course you would.
Do you have furry friends at home? We’d love to see your pets lounging, causing mischief, and making your house feel like home. Starting today and running for one week, we’re hosting a playful pet-themed block party on Home Love Stories where everyone can share photos and stories of their pets at home. It’s sure to be hilarious and heartwarming.
If you don’t have an account yet, sign up for a free Home Love Stories profile — you don’t need a separate blog to participate. Just upload your photos, tell a short story, and use the hashtag #PetsAtHome in your post. It’s simple and fun, and cell phone photos are more than welcome; this is casual, old-school blogging at its best.
Over the next week, check back to see everyone’s posts and meet other pet lovers. The block party format makes it easy to browse familiar faces and new friends, and it’s a great way to celebrate the everyday joy animals bring to our homes.
We created Home Love Stories to connect more closely with readers and to give anyone a place to invite us into their homes, even if they don’t have their own blog. It’s a free community built around simple, real-life sharing. Every week we host a different themed block party, so drop by, introduce yourself, and join the fun.
To kick things off, we shared our own Pets At Home story about Jack and Lily — come join the party and add your pet’s photos and stories!
PS. Thank you so much for your kind messages about my recent news this week. I truly appreciate your support and encouragement.
