I have 2 dogs. A 12 year old collie/poodle cross and her 5 year old daughter.
Older dog has been slowing down a bit lately. Nothing too drastic; just a bit stiff first thing in the morning sometimes, especially if its cold/wet or she's had a particularly long walk the day before. Otherwise still very sprightly and happy and lively.
So a few weeks ago I splashed out and got a lovely snuggly cushion from PAH, filled with foam bits and with a removable, washable cover and a waterproof inner cover. Lovely.
Except she wouldn't go on it! I kept putting it in her usual places (if I'm on the PC she lies next to it, if I'm watching TV she lies near the chair etc) but wherever I put it she would lie beside it but not rest so much as her chin on it.
Just got her back from the groomer and had a brainwave. Took the fleecy cover off and put it where she was lying. She lay on it. Yay!!
While she was getting used to that idea, I got a bin bag and emptied half of the filling out of the bed. It's still lovely and soft but flatter.
Put the cover back on and SHE'S LYING ON IT!!
She looks sooooo comfy! :D
