  3. Shelley says:

    Love this idea.

  4. Janice says:

    I seriously doubt my 85-pounder would fit. Cute idea anyway.

  5. Sharon says:

    How about something for a 100 lb'r? This is very cute!

      Take a coffee table with a bottom to it and make it into a large bed. Or one of the large storage ottomans. Make it into a cozy bed inside for when you are spending time in the room together. The only thing with that idea
      is the dog has to be able to get into it.

    How about cutting the legs off of an arm chair and taking it down to doggy height? It might make chewing the arms easier! Also might help to get them out of your bed.

    yeap I need to take a pic of a bed, I did…and yes a size for large dogs…mite sell tomorrow…and also take a old chair and cut a hole in it for a dog bowl, I line the hole with velcro…perfect for large dogs…when bending over is not best when eating

    I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my difficulty. You’re amazing! Thanks!

    Our "baby", Princess (a toy chihuahua) doesn't need – and won't use – a bed for a DOG, since she doesn't think she is one! She's slept on our bed since the day she came home to us, even tho we bought her a lovely bed. Yes, we spoil her, but the amount of love she gives in return is priceless.

    Such a wonderful idea. My lil fellow can sleep right next to me in his own bed. I won't have to worry about him jumping and are falling off of my bed and hurting himself. Thank you for such a wonderful idea. His own little room. He will have his own privacy. Got to get to searching for a nice end table and start my new project. Again thank you and so does Pepper my little fury friend. Blessed.

      Hi Donnia!! I had the same worries about my little 4 pound yorkie. I had a set of stairs made for her. ($10.00)I gave this guy the exact measurements of the height of my bed. I went to the carpet store to see if they had any carpet for sale in cream. By carpeting the 4 stairs, it prevents them from otherwise slipping if the stairs would be painted or just left plain. The man at the carpet store did not even charge me because I did not need a lot. Now, she can go up and down these "custom" stairs made just for her. And now I don't worry at all when we go to bed. However, we usually sleep together every night. Even though she is small, she is wonderful to cuddle next to. Good luck with your project!! Kind regards, Susan :)

    Love this idea! I have two little poodles, and I could actually do this with one of my existing end tables. Would they use it, when they prefer the sofa and love seat? Worth a try!^_^

  14. Pat says:

    Love this and is a wonderful idea, I have two Bichon's who might just love this although they love the sofa in the sunroom during the day and my bed at night!
