Just wanted to mention, i too couldnt really be spending $60-$80 on a dog bed right now, being that Dale will need the largest size out there, so i made him one...and it turned out great! He prefers the sofa anyway, so this is only for him to use when we are out of the house and he is in the kitchen. Anyhow, what i did was go online and get the measurements for a dog bed his size (or soon to be full grown size), and went out to the fabric store and bought a nice fleecy fabric. I got it so cheap, b/c they happened to have a 50% off sale. Anyway, i had an old comforter from a twin bed...folded it up a few times and made a slip cover for it with the fleece fabric in the size bed he needs. And all i do is take off the slip cover to wash when needed. I am rather proud of it and i saved myself tons of money!

For Christmas...he is getting stuffed toys...he likes them best, maybe a greenie or two!
