I made my sister's stuffing digging husky a bed out of fleece with no stuffing-it is shaped like a cylinder and folds into itself. It worked so well I made small ones for Ziva and Abby out of very soft upholstery fabric.(It is similar to simplicity pattern #3906 view C, but not fuzzy.) They are easy to wash without the stuffing (Ziva has an occassional marking problem

) and a little cooler for our climate.
