I usually put a doggie bed on my bed. I have one beside my bed as well. Sometimes my dog likes to sleep on the floor bed... She usually tries to beat the cat out of her usual spot next to me, but in the end Prue the dog is usually at the foot of the bed....where I put the doggie bed. She is attached to her beds and spends her sleeping time in one most days and nights. I also have one at the end of the sofa in the living room. It keeps her hair/smell all in one place.

I don't have to wash the bed clothes any more often than I used to but I will admit, sometimes Prue's feet stink....and I have to wash her beds and my bed clothes a tad more often.

Dogs can get stinky, that's for sure. Especially when the ROLL in stuff. That is Prue's famous past time.

Doggie beds have saved my bed, sofa and in general lots of washing of other things.... They are light, made of nice warm material...and since Prue is only 21 pounds, not that big.

Good luck with your stinky dog. We all have one..... you are not alone with your problem.
