The Pampered Pooch Part II

Elizabeth Boland · Jul 29, 2011 ·

Yesterday my best friend in the entire world had to say goodbye to her best friend. 
Today’s post is in honor of her 3 1/2 year old Boxer, the most pampered pup there ever was and ever will be… Oscar Massimo Lionheart Oddo “To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice, though in as much as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman.”- Hermione Gingold 



“Ask the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth”- Saint Francis

“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don’t even know we have.” – Thom Jones

“My Dogs.” – Bill Blass after being asked “Who or what is the greatest love of your life?” by Vanity Fair Magazine.

“With eye upraised his master’s look to scan, The joy, the solace, and the aid of man: The rich man’s guardian and the poor man’s friend, The only creature faithful to the end.” – George Crabbe



“I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race; for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?” – Sir Walter Scott

“A dog is truly a man’s best friend. If you don’t believe it, try this experiment. Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you?”- Anonymous

About Elizabeth Boland

I am a wife, Mom, and an Interior Designer. I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to work with one of my best friends. My Mom and I are partners in our Washington DC based design firm, Wilson Boland Design. In January 2010, we opened an Interior Design Studio in downtown Bethesda, which has evolved just as much as our business!

I started Haute Indoor Couture in the spring of 2011 to share portfolio pictures, inspiring ideas, and fellow designers with our clients and friends. I live for Interior Design and I love sharing my passion and enthusiasm with my readers. Most of the content you will find here is interior design, architecture, fashion, or canine related.
