I made Max a new bed!

[stacwase]

I made Max a bed today. I got really nice 4" high density foam - the kind you use for sofa cushions, etc. - and covered it with snuggly flannel. It cost $50 for the materials, but it's soooo much nicer and more comfortable than the dog beds you can buy around here. (I know because I layed on it to check it out!)

He was so funny. He was sleeping on it so soundly that he rolled off. He was just laying there part on, part off. He woke up but he was too lazy to get back on. I got the camera but by the time I got back downstairs with it he was already sitting up.

I think we're going to actually make a bed frame for it and put it next to our bed. What do you think?

This is him waking up after he fell out of bed. Sorry it's so cloudy.

Here he is after I talked him into getting back in bed.

That is very cute! I would pay $50 for it! I think it'd be a great idea to put a bed frame on it. :D

A great looking bed, you did a Very nice job.

I was thinking it would be really cute too make a 4-poster bed, just like ours but smaller.

Looks like a really nice bed. I think putting it on a frame like your bed would be cute.

I think it looks great! I also really love the print on the material.

That is a really nice bed! my mom made one like that for Tango but she used a bit of fluff and alot of foam it also has a dog pattern similar to max's. I like Max's a bit better than Tango's.

[anna_66]

What a great idea!

He seems to love his new bed:D

[Canis Amicus]

Wonderful. I like the fabric with all that doggie faces.

[Tina]

That is really neat! Wish I knew how do something like that. I love the fabric you picked out.:)

Awww, made with mommy's hands...and love:) It's gorgeous! I'd say that's a 100.00 bed in the RC Steele catalog:D Max, enjoy your soft, comfy bed sweetie:)

[stacwase]

Guess where he slept? I put his bed in his usual spot, on the floor on my side of the bed. He decided to sleep on the floor on the other side of the bed! Now he's laying on hard wood. ? What a wierdo. Actually, I think he's just hot and likes the cool floor underneath him.

Thanks for all the compliments, by the way!

Nice bed. Well done!

Max is a cutie.

Just a little update for y'all! Max LOVES his bed now. He sleeps on it all night and lays on it for much of the day. The chihuahuas even lay on it now. I think I'll make one like it for my stepdaughter's dog!

[pitc9]

That's wonderful!! I'm sure he loves it because YOU made it!!!!!:D It's much better than any bed you could buy in a store!!

[gini]

What a great bed! A frame could be really cute too, but he seems to love it the way it is.

I liked the fabric you used.........nice close-up photo of the print.

I am sure you could sell those for much more than $50.00.

I LOVE it! I think I'm going to have to do that myself. One good thing about making one is that you aren't limited in your fabric choices.
