Rocky has a new bed!

[critter crazy]

After our Vet visit, and finding out that rocky has some arthritis, the vet suggested that i get Rocky a better bed, since we have hardwood floors, and concrete. So taking some advise from Michelle(Borzoimom) I found my sons old Crib mattress, and sewed a cover on it! I think he likes it!! what do you think?? not too shabby huh???

Someone looks very comfy there! Good job!

Crib mattresses are PERFECT for large dogs with arthritis. Gives support and depth off the ground. Man you are a handy sewer-... lol..
This summer and spring- look for yard sales. People always sell them and they work as a spare.. lol..

Definitely a good sewer. He does look like he likes it. "Hey mom! Rocky like it!"...lol

I will!! I am actually shocked, that i still had it! i was so sure i had gotten rid of all my baby stuff, but i guess i was wrong! I might be able to sew fast, but not sure if i would call it good! Handy definitely! wioth two kids and a hubby, it definitely comes in handy!!

The real joke here is- a crib mattress at a yard sale- basically like 50 bucks- price of a huge dog bed- SEVERAL HUNDRED! And no where near as thick.

That actually is a great idea,i also own a bigger dog(Newfoundland)...I have looked all over the place and cannot find one big enough.....

[borzoimom]

Exactly! AND these are thicker and have springs to hold the weight without crushing to the floor. Hottie uses a twin mattress- he is awfully long and loves to really streach out... And yard sales are great- !

Molly too i would like my bed back lol she sleeps between me and Jamie every night....she cannot handle the hard floor.

Maggy looks alot like my first "cricket"... I never told you that but for sure- ...

[kimlovescats]

What an excellent idea! Rocky sure looks like he approves!

Rocky is such a doll. Looks like he enjoys his new bed.

[borzoimom]

LOOKS LIKE A HIT TO ME! Lol..

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

Oh that is a great idea. He sure looks like he is enjoying it. My Dukey Doo has arthritis too. He developed it after getting Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick. Right now it is very mild and he has no problems but I will keep this in mind for the future.

He looks mighty comfy on that bed! He's soo Beautiful.
