Houzzers: You love your dogs. They keep you company, never diss your decorating, and make every lunch appointment. They do wonders for your home photography and never mention model fees.
So look through your camera roll, find your best shot and share it below. It could appear on our homepage. We are on the hunt for a Houzz Pet of the Week, and your pooch could be Houzz Pet No. 1.
As we're all design junkies here, we're looking for shots of your pal in a great space. He could be in the room you just decorated, in your best chair, on a construction job, keeping you company in the studio or home office, in your old house, or kicking back on the patio. Dogs + Design = Houzz bliss. We all know this.

Take your best shot. Houzz Pet of the Week selection will be based on image size (big!) and some kind of relationship to home and garden. Be sure to give us his name and tell us how he found you.
Or her, of course. This natural beauty is Beatrice Arthur, and she lives here with Dabito, a creative homeowner, blogger and photographer in Los Angeles.

Don't wait. Look, your pet is being uber cute right now. Go get your camera and snap a pic. Upload your favorite photo to the comments section below and tell us a little about him/her.
Erhm, what about the cats? Don't get us started; we love kitties. Share your shots of them on your drafting table, posing in a vignette, napping on your tile samples, helping you type, vamping on your best chair, or squished into one of those cardboard boxes you get when you buy several 4-inch plants at the nursery. Anything home related. You get it!
Here's a little inspiration to get you started. Here's some more.
You probably already have the perfect photo in a folder on your desktop. Just click the "Choose File" button below, navigate to your stash of pet pics, and share your best friend with us.
