| Suitcase Dog Bed(would you buy this?) I made a suitcase dog bed for my dog, and I really love it I just bought an old suitcase at a thrift store, got small furniture legs painted and screwed them on( I had my dad do that part cutting the wood making holes in the suitcase and the wood) I bought a very big fluffy pillow and sewed a cover for it I already had some awesome fabric and I made three small pillows. SO my question is would anyone of you guys buy these suitcase dog beds If I was to start selling them? I think they are pretty neat I have not sewed the pillows all the way so that is why you may see some holes and pillow stuffing in the three pillows. The pillows are more for decoration then anything but they are still pillows that the furbabies can use, my Yorkie Bella loves to rest her head on the pillows. You can also Take the pillows off they are not attached in anyway. Both my 8.5lb Yorkie and 10lb Bichon Frise/ Toy poodle mix love this bed if one is not laying on it the other is so it is super comfy I could not post my photos on here since they were too big but I posted them on Photobucket.

| I also forgot to put prices that I was thinking. I think it would be around $80 still have to check with that and shipping costs, but it is super unique and one of a kind and I could do whatever fabric you wanted and I could paint the suitcase too. And I would think it would last a long time too just like Buddy Belts even thought they are expensive they last forever. FYI the suitcase bed in the photos is not for sale. SO what do you all think yes you would buy this or no you would not?

Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | A very clever idea, at first I pictured it as an open suitcase with a pillow inside. That way you could close it up and travel with it. Just an idea. I probably would not buy an $80 bed for my pup. But it is very nice. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | Brilliant idea! I haven't really priced dog beds much so I don't know how much people would pay for it. I personally wouldn't pay that much for it because I sew and could make my own if I wanted one. Also I would think the suitcases (in good condition) would be hard to find and costly to ship.
