Cain has a crate in the kitchen with a Tuffies bed in the bottom and a soft bed in the living room which is a dog bed cover with a duvet folded in half inside. Cain likes to stretch put so will often hang his head off of his soft bed, or even choose the floor. Although he curls up in the crate occassionally he spends 50% of his time stretched out so I'd prob never buy him a basket with raised sides.

In his crate - normally he curls up over the back. I took the photo cos he looked funny with his head hanging out but it looks like the crate is too small for him - it's not, honest!



can't find a photo of him stretched out, but here he is looking cute cuddling his crab

..sofa,chair,floor...... or the smallest dog bed they can find

Mine have Tuffies, exactly the same one as Cain has (even the colour) pictured above!

They probably are not as comfy as a big soft fabric bed, but from a practicality point of view I can't fault them. My girl destroys fabric beds and duvets, so they are a no-go in this house. Not only that but the dogs come back pretty filthy and wet from walks so fabric beds are useless from that point of view anyway.

Tuffies are waterproof, don't go flat, hairs don't stick to them (no dog smell) and they can stretch out fully. Plus they are not very attractive to chewers...my super destructive girly hasn't even attemped to chew them.

As we are sharing pics (so snug):

Folded duvet with a large piece of vetbed on top for Merlin.

such an unusual looking dog, what breed is he/she?

absoloutly stunning whatever the breed is can you give him/her a big squeezy cuddle from me

This is Zena's bed which Georgie never dares get into


and this is the under the stairs one which he likes to climb into at 4.00 am. every morning so Zena hops into hers coz she sleeps here till that time


There's no longer room for two under the stairs coz Zena's grown a bit!

We've upgraded to another Wainwright's bed under the stairs now though, same as Zena's new one, and they can lie stretched out in those, they're huuuuge! Nobody gets on beds or sofa's here, don't know why, they just never have, plus they're not allowed upstairs and they also know that, I like to keep upstairs as a dog free zone.

The boys have a sofa each... they curl up with us whilst we're watching TV, then stretch out when we go to bed...

They also have a king sized quilt folded in 2 for the floor, but prefer the sofa...

The kitchen bed has 2 lots of vetbed and assorted fleecey blankets on, but is only used during the day (or when I'm cooking and they need to know what's going on)

Mine sleep on big rectangular leather bean bags, big enough for them to stretch out on. Syd has one to himself as he sleeps on his side with his legs stretched out in front of him while the others sleep curled like a cat so are happy to share one and Diesel my staffie likes to be squashed so finds the smallest possible space between the others and squeezes himself into it.

Zena's bed looks sooooo comfy, Cain would love that! Did you say that's a Wainwrights one?

Ps I never knew Georgie was white. Awwwww
