I've bought a new bed for the dog.

'Large' size, allegedly suitable for large dogs like labradors etc.

Thought she'd really like it as she isn't allowed on the leather sofa.

LOOK AT THE FUCKING SIZE OF IT

😡

My 15kg dog barely fits on it..

I am just so disappointed, DH thinks it's fine.

That'll learn me for buying online I suppose, I should have bought one I could see in the shop.

Ugh.
Don't know if it'll be worth my while returning it with the postage.

It's like a fucking dolly dog bed.

I am so cross.

Surely the measurements were advertised when you ordered it?

I’d be more upset because both the colour and the fabric are fucking hideous!

Whynosnowyet · 22/01/2020 12:53

More space than mine on a full size sofa.....

😱
It's the same colour as my much loved leather suite, that's why I bought it.

The faux leather is a bit shit, I did look at a proper wooden framed Italian leather dog sofa but they were over £600 and I thought that might be just a tad excessive 😂

Bet she would have fitted properly on the horrifically expensive one though...

Fucks sake.

£100! you buy a human sofa from ikea for that

Junie70 · 22/01/2020 12:57

I bought mine a tuffies bed nest, without measuring. As they share a bed, I ordered the XL. It is extra large....... so large that my 3 older grandchildren can lie in it as well as the 2 dogs Grin

They love it though and have plenty of room to stretch out...... you just have to walk around it!!

LoseLooseLucy · 22/01/2020 13:00

Is that a Rottie tucked in the end there Whynosnowyet? Grin

Love that picture.

I know but I couldnt comfortably fit another full size sofa in, I wanted a smaller one for the dog as she isn't allowed on ours.

Just not that pissing small 😡

Sell it online.at least you’ll get some money back, then go to B&M because they’ve some lovely dog beds. Or buy a second hand baby’s cote and repurpose it, if you want something different. Pinterest is your friend.

picklerickkk · 22/01/2020 13:06

There’s only one lesson to be learnt here op. Let the dog on the sofa!

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 22/01/2020 13:06

Oh whatnosnowyet, I see your sofas come with the same extras as mine. 🤣 The gorgeous gang.

NellieEllie · 22/01/2020 13:10

What you need is an ORVIS bed.
Step1. Buy bed, first re mortgaging house to pay for it.
Step2. Find somewhere to put it where it doesn’t entirely dominate the room.
Step 3. Give up
Step 4. Watch dog get in, look at you as if you’re a crazy lady and then get out again,

Step5.For two years keep bed in lounge while dog lies on sofa/wooden floor.
Step6. Admit defeat and hide under bed in spare room. (the dog bed...not me)

ButterisbestLangClegisbetter · 22/01/2020 13:11

Guess which one is the boy?

ButterisbestLangClegisbetter · 22/01/2020 13:13

They don't fit in it anymore and the boy is still in the middle

FabbyChix · 22/01/2020 13:15

Doesn’t look comfy at all

LadyR77 · 22/01/2020 13:16

Whynosnowyet · 22/01/2020 13:19

Please please check out youtube. Basset hounds in an igloo..
Oh my days best thing I have ever seen!!

shiningstar2 · 22/01/2020 13:35

Looks a great idea. Is there an extra large size you could change it for?

YouokHun · 22/01/2020 13:36

It wouldn’t work for my dog who sleeps like this:

Herpesfreesince03 · 22/01/2020 13:38

Send it back and buy a normal sized armchair/coach for £20 off gumtree

shiningstar2 · 22/01/2020 13:41

Or go to ikea and buy him an arm chair that would match your sofa. Would probably take the same amount of room Grin

sonypony · 22/01/2020 13:44

Send it back and get a small sofa from somewhere like Ikea? I guess 'suitable' means they 'can sit' even if not ample room? Lesson in checking measurements I guess, we all do things like that from time to time.

HaudMaDug · 22/01/2020 13:45

I used to have a massive dog and to save my furniture I bought her a full size 2 seater futon from gumtree to stretch out.

userxx · 22/01/2020 13:51

@frostedviolets Online shopping for this kind of thing is no good! So hard to tell the size. My mum paid about £180 for her dog bed so your's is a bargain :)

SisyphusRocks · 22/01/2020 14:03

Might be a bit of an issue if she has a sleepover
