Dog beds?

Margi said:
Funny you should mention that--I had a queen 3" memory foam topper I had replaced with a new one and rather than throw it out I saved it for making dog beds. I was tired of store bought beds that the stuffing went flat and dealing with zippers, or no way to clean it at all! So I cut a large piece, added three bolsters using a special adhesive for memory foam (that cost as much as a bed LOL) called Loctite High performance spray adhesive. Then I found cute dog couch throws at Walmart for like 5 bucks each, and just wrapped them around the beds. It doesn't look perfect but I don't care, all I have to do is grab the blanket and throw it in the washer!

That looks like mine, with the exception of the bolsters, which I hadn't thought of, but might just go ahead and add. I'm glad I could find something to do with that topper. I couldn't use it myself because it was too thick. I ended up sinking down too far in it, and it wouldn't support my back.

He seems to like lying on it when I'm in the same room, but I've yet to see him sleeping on it.
 
When most of my dogs were young I bought cheap dog beds for them. I don’t think any of mine were really into them when they were that age with the exception of wanting to chew on them. When Piper was that age he managed to destroy 2 dog beds. One of them had the bolsters and he’d managed to start a tear on the trim. Then one day I came home (Piper was in my bedroom with a baby gate in the doorway) and he’d destroyed that bed…stuffing everywhere. That was the second one. After that and until he was maybe a year and a half I bought cheap beds at Dollarama if I needed one.
Now that they’re all older they do gravitate to the beds, with the exception of Blueberry…she’s a furniture dog:ROFLMAO:…can’t keep her off! Or she sleeps on the cold hardwood or by the doorway on the mat (that’s if we close all the gates restricting access to the bedroom and living room lol).

Mr. Pip has one of those big fuzzy bones exactly like the one in your first photo! It originally belonged to "Little Boo-Boo," my part-Sheltie who died in 2012, and immediately became the property of Dickens, who bequeathed it to Mr. Pip. So far it's proven indestructible!

And it smells good to him (other than glue :whistle:) since it was your bed.
