Dog Bed


The first Christmas I was here living with my son I was still getting to know his dog. I am not what you call an animal lover. I would never mistreat any creature but I do not need or even want a pet.

I felt bad because the floors were cold in the winter. The poor dog was sleeping on the floor. I got her a dog bed for Christmas.

It is a nice one. It is firm and big. The lining is rather plush. The cushion has a washable cover which is good because after all she does tend to smell like a dog.

Her bed stays in my son's room because he is her owner. That is where she sleeps at night.

When we first opened the box and let the bed stretch out she was so excited. She knew it was for her. She jumped right in and made herself comfortable.

That bed is pretty well used in the seven years she has had it. The cushion is flattened and not nearly as soft as it was. She has had a few accidents in there when she was sick. Even though my son constantly washed and sprayed it the smell sometimes gets stronger than it should..

The other day my son received an offer for a dog bed online. The price was greatly reduced. The bed is a large size so he ordered it. He has been trying to decide what to do with the old one.

The new one came today. It is not nearly as big as the first one. But the dog likes it.

She rolled around on it. She nuzzled the sides and the cushion. She laid on the edge. She flopped paetwayon it. She tugged and pulled on it getting the feel for it.

We decided to find a place for it in the living room. The dog has been happily alseep in heer new bed for several hours now. And the old one is still in the bedroom for now.

    1. She is the funniest animal. Today she will not get in her new bed because she had to leave it last night to go to the other bed. I will toss a favorite toy in it and see if that helps.

  2. Sounds like a perfect solution to me she now has a choice of where she can be comfy :-) I so miss not having an animal around but we want to travel and it is not fair. Cheers Diane

  3. While Indon’t know how old the first dog ben was, Emma, it seems like the dog deserved a new one. Hope she likes it as much as the old one. By the way, I agree sith your comment about pets, as we have both had them in the past. But now prefer to be petless.

  4. The old bed is about 7 years old. It is time for a new one. Her day bed is just not big enough.

    1. She does. After her early life she likes knowing that some things are hers and that she elongs.

    1. We only let her out on a tether. I have seen way too many dogs run over by cars and we want her safe.
