| Are you happy with your fur child's bedding? I'm shopping for new blankees for fur babies. What do you like? What's hot , what's cool? They can get too warm , what's smooth and soft?? Yet snugly.... Sheesh , etsy is driving me crazy! |

| ZoE sleeps on my bed at night, and chooses to sleep there during the day while I'm at work, so I would say she has a preference for Ralph Lauren bedding, as do I Seriously, ZoE seems to like older, worn bedding materials..maybe they are softer?? In winter she loves to snuggle in fleece blankets, but it has to be good quality fleece! The cheap, more nylon fleece she never chooses to lay out or dig and make a bed in. For summer, I use my old bed sheets, cut in half and re- hemmed. They are cool, but soft and she will pull it and dig and paw at and and turn around and around to make a bed in one if I toss it on the sofa. It's so cute to watch!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I love a faux fur for my babies. I recently found a minky-shag fur that is just divinely soft and luxurious, so I used it to recover some of the donut beds I already have. It's like this fabric:

| We use a fleece throw cut into 4 pieces for the girls- that way they always have a fresh one while one is in the wash. Hotter weather they like the cotton knit infant blankets (like smooth t-shirt material- double layer) I pick up at yardsales. |

| I got a super soft leopard print baby blanket at tj Maxx that I keep at the foot of my bed. Someone is almost always sleeping on it every night. The name on it is "Pickles Journey". They both love this blankies more than any other.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You could do what I did and buy the actual minky fabric, and then cover one of your existing dog beds or whatnot...or make a blanket...

| Baby blankets, old towels and throw blankets are what we use in the crate. She has a pet bed but when she's out she's more than likely on the bed or sofa with us. I stopped looking at beds and things because she rarely uses them.
