I'm Looking For A Soft Cozy Bed - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiemom2B · 06-17-2007, 05:26 PM

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a bed for Lily, and thought I'd post here for ideas. There are soooo many in the stores, but I haven't seen one I'm crazy about. Some are cute looking, but don't look too comfortable or functional. I'd like one that's soft and cozy that she can snuggle into. Can anyone recommend a great one that you love? Didn't know if any YT members made any? I thought I saw a few a while back, but can't find them. She only weighs a little under 4 lbs. Thanks in advance!

I went overboard with buying things for Livi...ended up getting her 3 beds. She wasn't crazy about any of them.

Then, JeanieK made her one for a puppy gift (so sweet!!!!) and she absolutely loves this bed!!!!!! You might send Jeanie a PM to see about making your fur baby one.

I have attached a picture so that you can see it...such a cute bed!!!

That picture doesn't show the black polka dots...her is another where you can actually see this. The bottom of the bed is even nice...she put pink satin on it.

That's ADORABLE !!! It's just what I've been looking for. It looks soooo soft and comfy and super CUTE!! I'll PM Jeanie K and ask if she'd be willing to make one and get some details. Your little Livy is THE SWEETEST LITTLE THING!

Thanks so much for your help!

The BEST bed my guys have is a floor pillow that I bought around college dorm prep time at BB&B and covered with a fun bone print fabric.

Mine love to sleep on pillows. Maybe just get a big Euro pillow until you find something else you like?

My boys have beds from Yorkie rescues. Check out their stores .

You are very welcome!! The bed honestly looks store bought because Jeanie's sewing is so great! She even made the outside part with a hidden zipper that you can then remove the inner pillow. Having two parts to this pillow makes it so nice for washing. The stuffing is washable so you just throw in the inside pillow with whatever whites you are washing (she made this part with a cream fabric and pink stitching

) and leave the stuffing in the pillow. When Livi had Coccidia, I was constantly washing and rewashing both the outside pink liner and the inside pillow and it washed perfectly! Livi was funny because she hated for me to take the pillow to wash...whenever it was done drying and I would bring it back to her, she would jump around on her hind legs trying to get to it. As soon as I set it down for her, she would jump on top of it (before it was even completely set down) and look at me like, "Just try to take it now!"

She really loves it!

Wow, you did a great job! If I was handy with a sewing machine I might attempt it, but alas, I'm not... LOL... But the throw pillow is an idea....

I just checked out a yorkie rescue site with some cute snuggle bed/nest things. Very cute, and such a good cause. Thanks!

That's too funny Tammy. She looks like a little queen sitting up on top like that! I have a PM in to JeanieK. It sounds sooo nice. That makes it even better that it washes so well. Hopefully she'll get back to me. Thanks again!
