Cozy

Our dog has been having some chewing bouts which was successfully solved by some more toys in her life. She basically lost or destroyed all of her toys except her Kong and was obviously bored. We got her a special rope that she can play tug with, which is very exciting for her. We didn’t allow any tug play the first 3 months and she’s loving having something that is tug-able. She got some non-destructable balls which she enjoys watching them bounce. She doesn’t usually fetch them, that will take more practice. But one thing she destroyed in her rebellion to us was her bed. I think she was angry that it wasn’t as cozy as her cedar bed in the living room. I think it was just a cheap bed that all the filling flattened out. Regardless, she ripped out all the filling and I realized she should have a nicer bed. But it’s a racket what they charge for basically an oversized pillow. I got some fabric (cotton on one side, flannel on the other) and made a pillow and a pillowcase (so we have something to wash if need be) and I’m really happy with how it came out.  Luckily it was pretty basic and easy.   I haven’t sewed for years and shortly after moving into the house I bought a basic sewing machine and made a long list of projects that I’m not making time to do. But today I made her bed and I’m happy she doesn’t have to sleep on the hard ground anymore.
