Yes, my daughter was fine with it! Well, the "adopted" one passed away two years ago, but I don't think a day goes by that we don't talk about her! Anyway, her favorite bed was the top,back of the sofa! I ended up putting pretty cotton tablecloths up there to save the cream linen; worked well!

They're easy to make, and go in the washer and dryer. Cotton is the best fabric, as it is absorbent and comfy, and doesn't hold pet hair as much as fleece or other textured fabrics do. Given a choice, mine will all choose the cotton over synthetic fabric. Poly filling from the craft department is about $3 a bag, and one bag is enough for a bed for my under-20-lb. crew of Shih Tzus. Since I have beds for three in the kitchen, office, and den, and two in the bedroom, making them myself not only gives me more color/design options, it saves money, too.Joanne Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-20489692126780762852010-04-23T00:20:33.593-04:002010-04-23T00:20:33.593-04:00If only I knew anything about dog beds, you know I...If only I knew anything about dog beds, you know I would happily help you pick out a new spot for your youngest :) Happy Birthday to your "favorite".

Olivia doesn't talk back. She's never needed diapers. She sleeps 18 hours a day. Perfection.<br /><br />As for dog beds, I love LouisDog, though not sure they come big enough for your baby. FetchDog also has some great options.

It does remind me of a time when my sister and I were in our teenage years and complained about every dinner my mom put on the table...she couldn't win. So, one night she said you know what, make your own dinner. We were miffed but later heard mom in the kitchen.....and went in to ask what she was making.....and she looked at us and said, "These eggs are for the dogs....I ran out of dog food....you are on your own." We still talk about that night and laugh. They were her favorites no doubt!<br /><br />As for beds, I have some old couch cushions I was planning to cover in sunbrella fabric for our pooch. So, that could be an option. Also, I love the pet shop in Fairfax Corner. We got our Beagle a bed there a couple of years ago and it is still looking good. You can get your favorite a "pup cake" while you are at it too.Susie @ Maddie G Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144849682748170658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-55680871208966891792010-04-22T12:47:48.873-04:002010-04-22T12:47:48.873-04:00I can see why she is your favorite,hehe!!Have a gr...I can see why she is your favorite,hehe!!Have a great day and enjoy that un-conditional love from your favorite, KathysueKathysuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272239664279235716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-33428624243668813182010-04-22T12:08:13.852-04:002010-04-22T12:08:13.852-04:00lovely post. my sheltie thanks you...lovely post. my sheltie thanks you...A Perfect Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022160717740694132noreply@blogger.com
