| hahaha - we have several beds at our house - we have a big rectangular bed without sides, like you see for big dogs -- this seems to be a favorite when the weather is hot -- a soft place to lay, but no sides to restrict air getting to them. We have 2 oval beds with the removable cushions - one was really for the cats, but somehow became the dogs or they occasional share then we have more of a donut bed And I've seen a lot of pretty ones we would like to have -- but need to save up

| I have spent lots of money on "dog beds", but what works the best in my house? A folded up blanket or comforter, or a pillow!!!

| We have a few beds... but my babies like the donut kind the best...They like them a little bigger then the smallest one. They like to streach out! I put a baby blanket micro fiber down... they love these blankets sooo much!

| Ours sleep in our bed at night but we several other ones throughout the house that they do lay in while we're at work or even when I move about the house on my days off. *First one we bought has that sherpa material inside and a microsuede on the outside. It's rectangle with overstuffed sides. They still LOVE this one because only one can get in it now and they're all snug as a bug in it. *Then they have a big soft poodle fleece ball one. *Some oversized rectangle dog pillows from Longs Drug store. *And lastly, a good overstuffed pillow with a plain old pillowcase. They love them all. I think it's just trial and error. Good Luck!

It is extremely soft and super fluffy and I thought Chewy would love it for the cold winter months since it has high walls great for snuggling BUT the brat refuses to sleep anywhere but the couch or my bed! I spent a small fortune on it (im weak when i fall in love with something) but if anyone is interested ill ship it for like 10 bucks to cover the cost of shipping. Its been sitting in my room for about a week now and Chewy wont even walk over to sniff it so no point in it collecting dusk is other DOGS actually use DOG beds. PM me if you want a picture or are interested. | |

| What is your guys' opinion/experiences on heated dog beds? I do not have a yorkie yet but will be looking to get him/her in about three months times. I live in an older and somewhat drafty home so on cold days and nights, it can get a little chilly inside (our house has a REALLY old central heating system that we never use in case you're wondering). Would it be safe for the little one or would it be a bit much? I would imagine they would love the warmth of the bed but since I don't have experience with a yorkie yet, I would love to here thoughts on this. Thanks!

| I used to have a 3.5 pound yorkie, as he got older he became ill. I used to put a heating pad on low on top of a pillow.

I made him a bed that looks like a pillow for this reason. (Super easy to do!) I bought half a yard of fabric from walmart for about $2 and stuffed it, he loves it.

| Cooper has a crate pad in the crate he sleeps in at night and a cute rectangular bed that I got at Petfood Express in his daytime crate. I also have a bed for him on the couch and in the upstairs portion of the house...they are both cat beds. They are the only beds I can seem to find with high sides! |

| We have dog beds but the cats use them. The dogs use my bed!
