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.

Send it back and accept loss of postage. It doesn’t look snuggly at all, all hard and slippery. TK Max often have good comfy ones.

I like it! Doubt mine would use it though unless he could adopt this position...

LoveNote · 22/01/2020 14:17

actually op as a new puppy owner myself i'm also finding the sizing a bit weird.....his crate was listed as for medium sized dog but its not that big really

its all a whole new world to me

Whynosnowyet · 22/01/2020 14:23

Anyone looked on YouTube yet??. Please do!!

separatebeds · 22/01/2020 14:26

I think it looks fine. She is lying stretched out in the picture and looks quite pleased.
Were you expecting a full sized human sofa?

Zaphodsotherhead · 22/01/2020 14:32

I've only got a Patterdale. So how come, whenever she sits on the sofa, there is no room left for me!

It's her special talent. God knows, she's no good at anything else!

Notsure94 · 22/01/2020 14:35

Your dog looks thoroughly cheesed off. I agree I'd have expected something a bit bigger for the money. You could get an actual sofa for that much! Incidentally this is one sadface I'd love to see in the DM...

SchadenfreudePersonified · 22/01/2020 14:48

Have you tried taking the cushions off?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 22/01/2020 14:50

God knows, she's no good at anything else!

Bet she is Zaphod!

I know patterdales.

They are good for getting lost down holes, ripping up tennis balls and picking fights with everything that moves.

They have many gifts.

Luckystar777 · 22/01/2020 15:05

Oh that's false advertising really - she can't even stretch her legs out on it can she? I'd be well pissed off :(

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 22/01/2020 15:14

Look on the bright side, OP - at least she's using it properly.

Clappingforjoy · 22/01/2020 15:18

You should have just bought a second hand human sofa

Zaphodsotherhead · 22/01/2020 15:20

That's true, Schadenfreude, she is excellent at fighting, growling, random barking and chasing anything smaller than she is. She'd like five counts of 'shredding paper' and one of 'trying to attack the collie across the road' to be taken into account.

Clappingforjoy · 22/01/2020 15:20

Dogs are adapt at getting themselves comfortable in a small space so I wouldnt worry

userxx · 22/01/2020 15:22

@Zoidbergonthehalfshell She's a fiesty one. I can see it in her eyes :)

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 22/01/2020 15:28

@userxx Thankyou. That was Mac, a rescued JRT who was forever odd. We lost him 3 years ago at the end of this month, and I miss him so much.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 22/01/2020 15:31

Zoidberg

I love it!

"It's LaCroix, darling" as Edina Monsoon once said . . .

I'm sorry he's no longer with you - terriers are such characters.

I must admit that bed looks quite uncomfortable (and too small) - I buy my doggie danish design beds and they last a lifetime. I got her the Retreat Eco-Wellness Duvet in grey and duck egg blue as it looks good in the kitchen.. they have removable covers which are washable and have memory foam inners so are really supportive etc. I have a very large basset hound and she prefers these to a bed as can stretch right out in them. The first one I bought her lasted me about 6 years and outlasted any other bed I purchased.

Highonpotandused · 22/01/2020 15:34

Don’t you have 14 days to return online buys due to distance selling?

ClaudiaNaughton · 22/01/2020 15:38

Could you use the dog sofa and he stretches out on yours? Job done.

crispysausagerolls · 22/01/2020 15:39

WHY ARE YOUR PLUG SOCKETS SO HIGH UP

Cosmos45 · 22/01/2020 15:41

@crispysausagerolls

Why are you shouting?

msmith501 · 22/01/2020 15:42

That bed is £87 on Amazon for extra large and £65 for large and the dimensions are given

Get a bespoke one made for about £300, pricey but they look like expensive furniture and your gorgeous dog will live them. If you cant afford to fork out there are pay weekly companies that do carpets and furniture they sell made to order for beds for £10 week? P.s your dog is beautiful
