Nebo got himself in trouble..

[pnance]

Amy, Katie and Tori always did the same thing. Katie went through a couple of dog beds that I had put in her crate and Tori destroyed one when she was a puppy. I gave up! It never seemed to bother them that they were laying on the plastic floor. I think it just bothered me...lol. I never understood it.

I agree, Hunter did the same thing, I finally gave up and went and picked up a cheap blanket (no stuffing involved) from walmart for winter, but in the summer just let him lay on plastic. I think I paid $10 and I still have it a year later. A little ragged around the edges but it definately lasted longer than the nice expensive beds I kept trying.

Does he get the sheepish look when you come home and find it??? Hunter always did...he'd look at me with a look that said "what, is this a problem"

I wish I could just let him free in the house, I tried it once and he was great for a week then he destroyed a plant and spread it throughout the house. I would still let him but it's not my house so I don't have a choice in the matter. :/

I don't think just laying on the plastic bothers him, I guess it's just me. After all one of his favorite places to lay is on the kitchen tile. I've had blankets in there and he's ripped the edges which it isn't the blanket that matters I just worry about him eating pieces of it and getting it stuck in his digestive system or something. When he was a puppy he managed to eat several toys and they came out fine lol but you never know....

I emailed the company on Sunday and have not received a reply yet. :/

If you ever find a bed that's Nebo proof send a PM my way.

Rien stays in his crate whenever I'm away and some nights when I'm sleeping (mostly he's allowed up on the bed with me, but if I'm sick I usually prefer to have the bed to myself). I don't think he minds it either, but his mommy would like it better if he had a bed in there.

Nebo you are too cute. Don't you understand that beds cost a lot of money and if you keep on doing that you will sleep on the hard floor?

OH MY

Nebo, I would have never suspected that you could EVER be nawtee. Your always such a good little boy never digging or anything. I'm just so surprised.

I know that mommy couldn't possibly still be mad at you any more, I'd sure have a hard time being mad at that cute face of yours!

Just give her "the look" and I'm sure she'll turn into mush

Wolf - We emailed back. It looks as though the corner came loose and Nebo had the entire bed in his mouth, chewing away. Your pictures verify your bed is destroyed.
We'd like to send another bed to you with a prototype attaching method, reinforced corners, and a barrier frame. A "test bed"
Maybe once we get Nebo a bed he can't destroy, you'll find we did better than just a refund.
Thanks,
Scott

Yes I'm aware of that, if you'll notice that post was made on 2-28-06. The entire corner didn't come loose, maybe one string, but I still had to untie the rest to get the bed out.

If you would like to send one with those different attaching methods, reinforced corners and barrier frame that would be great and I'd be happy to try it out to see if it's "Nebo proof." Also I'm sure if it worked there would be a few people from this website who would order one. But I'm not interested in paying another $28 like you mentioned in the email for the frame, so if that is the case, I would like a refund. Thanks

I talked with my partner and we are constantly revising our design to find the best balance between strength, pet safety, human friendliness, and in discussing recent bed failures, (yours in particular) we had a small brainstorming session and had a few good ideas come up.
When we developed this product, we conversed back and forth with customers just like you to revise and develop the design, and make something that would work.
One string coming loose is all it takes for Nebo to get it in his mouth....we're doing away with that design next week. We've lost several beds that way, and it has cost us.
We still do this special development because without a product that solves a particular problem for someone...there is no market.

How well did the bed fit originally? Any gaps or spaces we should be aware of? We'll use the same dimensions as before, but beef up certain details of the construction.

BTW - I'll offer everything to you for free, as I said before.....better than a refund. If the new bed works, then you'll get what you paid for correct? (albeit some aggravation)

We make nothing from shipping, whether it's coming or going, so that's why we do not refund that part of the cost.

The bed fit fine, I don't recall there being any gaps or spaces. The dimensions I gave you were the ones listed on the crate's box.

If the bed works, that will be great, and definitely better than a refund. I'd really like something for him to lay on. Will I be able to get a refund if he destroys this one too? Believe me, I'm hoping he doesn't, it would be wonderful for him to have a bed that he really can't destroy, but I don't know if that's possible.

I understand not refunding the original shipping, but I really did not want to have to pay to ship it back for inspection when it's pretty obvious in the pic it's destroyed.

Just wondering if you have received the new bed and installed it yet? We have had very good luck with this product and I'm excited to hear any news you may have. (Good or bad)
Thanks,
Scott
