Mini A Day: MiniJoyMonth: Pets

 * Two canine friends in the sitting room in a wall-hung cabinet.

Today's Theme: Pets or People

Definitely a favorite theme. Being a dog lover, I have to put a dog in just about every project I've done. And people? Well, I confess: I love dolls, too. I know dolls in dollhouses are a love-hate thing for a lot of people. Some prefer to have a room look lived-in but like someone just left. Others, like me, don't mind a doll or miniature figure in there. (*Click photos for full size.)

Do you like pets in your dollhouse or miniature room? What kind? 

Here are some of my favorite mini dogs: (I hope you're also looking at more photos of the projects at the links!)

* Lots of dog pals gathering for Halloween at the Lavender Cottage. The crowd keeps getting larger! That big dog in the center really thinks he's "top dog" doesn't he? haa!


I loved building and decorating this 3-story mansion. I split it up to have a diner in the first floor/lower level; the rich widow owner lives on the second floor and the chef lives on the third floor. Here's the beagle in the chef's sleeping room with a kitchenette. See more of the mansion and diner here. There's also another little dog in his favorite place on the roof.

There are also plenty more dogs of the Halloween variety to show. They'll be coming up soon!
