I fell in love with David Bromstad‘s infectious personality and optimism when he first appeared on, and won, HGTV’s first season of Design Star. Since then, he’s gone on to host a multitude of hit TV series, including Color Splash and The White Room Challenge, returning most recently to host the show that launched his career, Design Star. When he’s not busy working as a designer, artist, and TV personality, he’s spending his time cuddling with his two adorable dogs. Let’s meet them, shall we?

I’m excited to get The Scoop on the canine muse behind one of my favorite bloggers and photographers, Dabito of Old Brand New. When he’s not sharing gorgeous images of his daily adventures (including decorating his incredible home, thrifting for vintage finds, and making/eating delicious food), he’s posting photos of his pup Beatrice on his blog and Instagram. To say I’m completely smitten with this little dog would be an understatement! So, let’s meet Ms. Beatrice, shall we?

Janine Kahn is the Editor-in-Chief and founding editor of Dogster and Catster Magazines. In previous career incarnations, she held web editor positions at Village Voice alternative newsweeklies (including SF Weekly and OC Weekly), the Los Angeles Times, and USC’s Online Journalism Review. She has several pompous-sounding awards from her journalism days in a box in her storage unit, but thinks it’s way more impressive that she has her dog tattooed on her skin in three different locations (Editor’s note: Agreed! How bad ass is that?). I have a total crush on her dog, Moxie, and squee beyond control whenever she posts a photo of him. So, let’s meet this squee-inducing, tattoo-inspiring dog, shall we?
