UP IN THE AIR
We just got Booker his second Kuranda dog bed.
Made of PVC pipe which holds a tight web of naugahyde, the bed puts the whole body off the ground and gives a hard mattress kind of support to the dog. Ours also has a sheepskin cover. Cozy.
A month ago, we got his first one for our work room, between my desk and a day bed and he was in it within a day.
Booker is a night stalker. He moves from one sleep spot to another so one bed will not do the job.
He sleeps in the first Kuranda bed, up on the day bed and down behind the day bed between it and the glass slider.
He also sleeps in his "real bed" which is in our bedroom.
The work room Kuranda worked so well that we replaced the big bean bag type of bed in our bedroom with a much bigger Kuranda.
He walked on it last night. Then off.
Then today when I got up from my nap, there he was knocked out on the new one by our bedside.
We can only supply so many beds. Booker also sleeps next to the dining room table and chairs, against the front door in the little alcove and between a lucite chair and the big slider in the living room. These are all more or less like dens which I think most dogs like. Booker loves them.
I should mention that we also have two love seats and a huge arm chair which also belong to Booker. They seem best to lie on his back with all four feet in the air.
For now, the two Kurandas will have to do. Off the cold floor, on a web rather than a big soft fluff and in a fixed secure place. These advantages are especially good for an old dog. He isn't old yet but, like us, he is not getting any younger.
This puppy likes his much smaller bed. I don't expect the gymnastics from 85 pound Booker but we never know. He is full of surprises.
