Spot, our Whippet puppy, just turned 6 months and (as any proud parent of dog or child will tell you) is the smartest/coolest/handsomest kid around. Perfection does have it's price - He's currently a wee bit of a chewaholic and has managed to chew a couple of holes into this rug since, I guess, the looped pile feels extra good on his brand new adult teeth. What a little monkey. Luckily we can probably flip the rug around and hide his handiwork under the sofa (or maybe order a new rug!). Oh, and we've re-directed his chewy energy with an apparently beyond delicious chicken-flavoured rawhide bone.

It's nice to know there are other dog nutters out there. Check out the Doug Meyer designed space below, which is barmy and cool and punctuated by a large portrait of his furry best friend. I'm a big fan of Meyer's ballsy style, and to read more from the man himself check out a recent interview here. If you're ever in Miami you can check out his latest project, the Lace Nail and Beauty Labs, which he descibes as "Miami Beach 1968 meets Dorothy Draper meets Tangier of the 1970s."
