Description
This sitting dog door stop is a cheerful little character for the foot of any door, dressed in a grey herringbone pattern with beige ears, a beige muzzle and beige patches around its small dark eyes. It sits up straight with its front paws together and its tail curving up behind, while its ears hang down at the sides of its head. A glossy black nose and a single stitched line for a mouth give it a sweet, slightly questioning look that is hard not to smile at. It stands 30cm tall, 20cm wide and 23cm deep, so it tucks in beside a door without crowding the floor around it.
We think it earns its keep in a hallway, keeping a living room or kitchen door open to let the air and the light through, or sitting by a bedroom or home office door where a draught might otherwise swing it shut. The grey and beige colours sit quietly alongside natural wood, painted skirting and woven runners, so it suits a cottage hall as happily as a modern flat. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift, a friendly face to greet someone in their first days in a new place, and a practical present with a job to do rather than one more thing for a shelf.
The herringbone pattern runs over the body, head, legs and tail in a fine grey zigzag, with plain beige panels set into the ears, the muzzle and around the eyes, and neat seams follow the shape of the dog. To keep it looking its best, brush off dust and fluff with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush now and then, and keep it out of damp corners. Set it against the open door, nudge it into place, and it is ready to keep you company every time you pass.
