A fun theme that gives us an opportunity to honor the fluffy and furry creatures we share this planet with!
I've said this before, but some of the cutest dogs I've ever seen live in Venice. Both of these guys were hanging out at the entrances to stores; maybe their owners were inside shopping or maybe they are the store owner's dogs. Cute fluff, for sure.
And even though you don't see as many cats as you do dogs in Venice, the kitties are around. This "Erba per Gatti" (cat grass) was for sale at a Venetian florist shop and shows how much they love their fluffy felines too. I grow this stuff for my own cats sometimes (they love it!).
And speaking of fluffy felines, this Oriental print was hanging on the wall of the B&B where I stayed the last time I went to Venice. It was over the table where I had breakfast each morning, and I loved looking at these cats.
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

A great collection of fluffy animals in Venice. The dogs outside the stores in the first shots are unbelievably cute. Happy Weekend!

Hi Annie, wonderfully cute and fluffy photos. A perfect take for this fluffy theme. I am so impressed that these cuties can just sit and patiently wait for their owners. The cat grass is cool, glad your little ones love it. And those are such pretty prints. Simple and elegant looking.
Thanks so much for sharing. Have an awesome weekend.

Interesting selection of photos for the theme, Annie.
A Chinese print (or is it an actual watercolor painting?) in Venice -- and a really nice one too! Cool!! :)

The fluffy doggies are so cute! Seeing all these cute doggies made me want to adopt one.

Oh, I didn't know about the dogs in Venice. My husband will be thrilled. Venice is high on our to-do list, and we love dogs.
The Chinese painting of the kittens is wonderful. So simply done, but with great skill to make it so true to life. We saw many such paintings in China and were amazed by the economy of lines so artfully done.

Cat grass? I've never heard of it. The dogs remind me of Benjie. :D
