New Dog bed

Hubby and I were shopping for Thanksgiving and Costco had a dog bed that we both believed would suit our Havs. The inner cushion was removable for washing purposes. We gave it to them for an early Christmas present.

They would not leave the inner cushion in the bed. We knew the next step would be that they chewed up the inner cushion. I sewed the inner cushion to the bed by hand.

Then they started transporting the entire bed (even with one dog in it sleeping) across the room ready to chew.

So now I have two 4# weights between the inner cushion and the bed (weights that are for son #2 for diving and his Christmas present). The bed is still where I placed it 2 hours ago.

When I first got Cuba a bed, he would try to tear it up. He would chew on it and flip it upside down. He was about 4 months. I brought it back out about a month later and he is much better with it. He will actually sleep in it although he prefers the hearth right next to it.

LOL...Tom, that's so cute, three in one bed...right next to an empty bed!

Oliver does the drag the cushion out thing too. He has one bed that is teeny tiny, much too small for him, that he loves and doesn't demolish. There is another bed that he likes too and usually leaves alone, but today, I looked up when I heard a whooshing noise and he was dragging it down the hall.

I've never had a dog that does this...it's so strange that so many havanese do it. Bed dragging DNA???? :suspicious:

That's funny. Bailey loves his beds and often curls up for a nap. Milo OTOH, never is tempted by them at all. They're all so different. BTW, Bailey does dig in his sometimes but thankfully he hasn't chewed any -- yet.

The inner part in Cicero's doughnut bed is not removable. When he was little he would work his way under the bed and walk...and it looked just like the bed was sliding across the room on its own. :pound: I miss him doing that...but he is still cute hiding his small toys in the crease.

Cheryl....your babies are keeping you young by making you use your brain power. Yep, show them you are smarter than they are! :biggrin1:

Cuba's bed is too small (or his toys are too big) to hide toys in the creases, but he sure does love to hide his treats in the creases (and in the creases of my comfy chair which I guess he thinks is one of his beds). :biggrin1:

Too funny! Riley never met a bed he didn't like to drag/dig and chew...

Also....the little bugger gets under my accent chair in the living room and my couch in the den and lays on his back and digs at the lining! He's destroyed the lining in the chair....:frusty:

That is so funny...you have to get a picture of them in their new bed.

We got our GSD Maggie a bed from Costco, one of the big square ones...she refused to lay on it...she has her special chair when she is in the house and she wont give it up. Anyway, Gracie loves the bed and will lay on it all the time. Gracie took it over the day she got here, but the bed is HUGE. Here is a picture of Gracie on her stolen bed.

I LOVE dog beds!! They are always so appealing to us!! Although the dogs just carry them around - but the weights are an interesting idea!
Here is my favorite bed picture of Logan
