| I think Gracie might be more comfortable with her head ON the bed |
I just took a bed count in our house; we have two human beds and ten dog beds. I should correct that and just say we have twelve beds.... the humans don't sleep on the dog beds, but the other two are first come, first sleep. Of the ten dog beds, five are conventional pillow beds, very popular with the smaller dogs and occasionally one of the big guys will cuddle up. The other five are Coolaroos, a camp cot type, off of the ground, indoor/outdoor bed.
Coolaroos are great. They have no stuffing, so there is no temptation to rip them to shreds and pull the innards out (thank goodness, we are past that stage with our gang). They are lifted off of the ground and are made out of a porous weatherproof fabric that allows both air and water to flow through. We have had some of them for several years and they still look nearly as good as they did when they were new. The one on the back porch is a favorite in cooler weather, even right after a rain. One of the ones in the house is placed right over an air-conditioning vent and the air comes right up through it. Guess which is the favorite Coolaroo in the house in the summer. Added bonus, they are very inexpensive...only about $35 for the large (golden retriever) size and, if necessary, you can get a replacement cover for under $20.
