Toy Boxes and Beds and Closets

[MandiesMom]

Am I the only one that doesn't have a toy box or a bed for my Yorkie. I see all of these pics with beds in them and I think I'm going to get Mandie one. Then, I think, she won't use it. I just don't know. She loves to sleep in the bed with her Daddy, but she DOES sleep on a bunched up soft terry bathrobe.

As for a toy box, I think I want one and then I wonder if it's worth it because I think she'll just keep pulling them out faster than I can pick them up. I just toss them in her "toy corner" LOL

Oh and also, a closet or a storage chest of some sort. Do you all have that, too? I have a corner on top of her crate that I just stack on top of. LOL

Here's a Poll Question, please respond yes or no if you have the following:

1. Doggie Bed(s)
2. Doggie Toy Box
3. Doggie Closet/dresser/etc?

Also, does your Yorkie(s) use the bed if you have one?

Thanks for playing along

1. Doggie Bed(s) - No
2. Doggie Toy Box - Yes!
3. Doggie Closet/dresser/etc? -Yes! They share my closet space with me for all their little clothes.

Also, does your Yorkie(s) use the bed if you have one? I had two beds & my dogs NEVER EVER used them. So I ended up donating them to an animal shelter. My dogs prefer to sleep in my bed.

As for the toy box, my dogs generally only are allowed to pull out a couple of toys at a time, and other than that I have a lid on the toy box so they can't spread their toys out in every room of the house because they definitely would LOL and my parents don't like that

Well I did make him a toybox from storage squares.
And he only has like five things to wear and doesn't even wear them only a coat for outside. I decided to not get him anymore clothes they make his cottony hair nappy anyway, hehe. He's not an accessory kind of guy

Huey has a dog bed. It is on top of his crate and used as a toy box. He only goes in his crate when sick or hiding. He sleeps in the bed with us. He has stairs to get in the bed as well as the top of his crate which is in front of a window and has a pad besides the toy box/bed which he does lay on.

[MaxYorkieBear]

yes to all three

her closet is my closet. lol

[MandiesMom]

Ok, so I have decided that I may get her a bed and if all else fails, just put it on our bed beside her daddy's head LOL

I still think I need some sort of set up for her clothes. She really doesn't have a whole lot of them but I see a trend with my spending lately and that is going to change rapidly.

Toy box would be really nice but I will wait to see if I want to spend money on that or on more clothes instead HA!

LOL I made him his closet but to be honest, it's getting really small... :X

Luma has two beds, a big toybox, a chest of drawers and clothes hanging in her own dedicated oortion of my closet (we shoved daddy's clothes in the back so they're hidden away and I have easy access to Luma's clothes LOL)

For her toybox right now I just have a pink basket I got from Target. I think its a clothes hamper but it works fine for us except that its very very tall...Luma has to dive into it to get her toys. I always catch her with her butt in the air while she sifts through her toys for the one she wants.

1. Doggie Bed(s): Yes. We have a few but even when I thought there was no way Callie was going lay in one she does, she absolutely loves the cloud 9 bed over any other bed and it is in the living room. I have seen dogs who hate dog beds fall in love with the cloud 9 plus the money goes to yorkie haven rescue for the rescue yorkies so it dosen't get better then that.

2. Doggie Toy Box?:Yep a few. I bought short baskets at the craft store to match the living room and one holds balls, one holds toys, and one holds bones/chews. She pulls out a lot of balls and toys sometimes but I always pick them up before bed every night and if we have people coming over. I use one of those long grabber things so I don't have to keep bending over. She also has a toy box in my office area.

3. Doggie Closet/dresser/etc?: Yes. I used to have an armoire for Callie's clothes but we moved and I got two rooms one for a bed room and one kinda a lounge/ office and both have walk in closets so I used the one in the office to hold all her clothes, extra beds, collars, harnesses, pretty much every thing but food, treats and bones those are in a closet off of the kitchen. I used to just stack her clothes and keep them in a tote but she gets cold so easy her clothes became more and more and more. Unless we are outside in the summer she has clothes on all the time. Except an hour before bed play time then she runs around nakie for an hour or so unless she gets to cold.
