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.

@LoveNote she / he would fit at the moment but not for long

Raspberrytruffle · 22/01/2020 15:46

This sort of thing?

Raspberrytruffle · 22/01/2020 15:46

It can be made any size

OhMsBeliever · 22/01/2020 15:47

There's only one thing for it OP. You and your family will have to sit on the doggy sofa and your dog can stretch out on the human sofa. It's the only solution. I'm sure the dog won't mind sacrificing his sofa for you. Grin

Always read the dimensions, some corkers here! Grin www.boredpanda.com/funny-online-shopping-fails/

Your dog looks thoroughly cheesed off
She was wanting my DSs cake, she always stares like that when people have food.

Can you find a matching footstool to extend the sleeping area? Cover the whole lot in a nice fleece to make it match.

greathat · 22/01/2020 16:08

@Whynosnowyet that's a lot of dogs!

frostedviolets · 22/01/2020 16:08

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

Yes, that is the bed, i couldn't remember the exact figure I paid for it hence saying 'close to £100' when asked, looking at the email I paid £65 + an additional £9 for delivery so that works out at £74 total.

She'll have plenty of room if she sits on it like a human

This made me spit my drink involuntarily 😂

SignOnTheWindow · 22/01/2020 16:16

@Raspberrytruffle quite fancy that for myself, actually...

Whynosnowyet · 22/01/2020 16:21

See op, this is why people should have foldy ddogs.
Any dcat bed will suffice..

@Cosmos45

The height of the plug sockets made me VERY EMOTIONAL 😁😁😁😁😁

SlatternIsTrying · 22/01/2020 16:24

Whynosnowyet - I want all your dogs!! They are beautiful.

diddl · 22/01/2020 16:28

Glad to see that my dog isn't the only one to just have baskets on the floor!

Albeit with a cushion at right angles so that he can stretch out on that as well.

diddl · 22/01/2020 16:29

Oops!

Just realised that those dogs are in cat beds!

Do they have their own sofa/s?

Cosmos45 · 22/01/2020 16:31

@crispysausagerolls - ha ha ha ha ha.. I was also intrigued by posters saying it looks fine to me without realising the plug sockets were there to give an indication of dimensions..

crispysausagerolls · 22/01/2020 16:35

I need to see a photo of the sofa with something else for scale. Because currently I think it’s teeny tiny and you have the world’s smallest collie

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 22/01/2020 16:45

That’s incredible, Raspberrytruffle. Absolutely stunning, but with my beast, it would need to come in ‘pee’ green. 😒

lisag1969 · 22/01/2020 16:45

Maybe asked them for free post and a larger size as your dog doesn't fit in in. X

Thinkingabout1t · 22/01/2020 16:49

I never buy anything online if I can get it from a local shop. Too many bad experiences and disaster stories. Even if you can't see what you want in a shop, they will often order things in for you.

KurriKurri · 22/01/2020 16:49

I've got a JRT/toy poodle X - he sleeps on our sofa. if we try to sit on it as well he 'accidentally' kicks out his back legs and boots us off.
IME boy dogs like to stretch out on their backs with their knickers and bobbins on display (much like male humans). So that dog sofa would be a bit restricted.

I think saying it would fit a labrador is a bit misleading though - my next door neighbour has a labrador - I would guess he weighs about a tonne, and is a canine hoover when it comes to food - if I meet him and neighbour coming back from shop he will ram his nose into my bag to see if there is anything in there he fancies for a snack. He wouldn't fit on that bed in a million years.

Whynosnowyet · 22/01/2020 17:46

Ddogs also have ddog size beds.

Haha at the Bassetts in the igloo! Amazing Grin

Zoidbergonthehalfshell · 22/01/2020 18:11

Thanks, @Schaden. He certainly had a character all his own - he didn't have the best start in life and never learned how to dog, so he was always a crazy mixed up kid. But so loving.
