Ah....it's been a long time since I last posted. But I needed a mental vacation. I'm sure those of you in the Northern Hemisphere can understand as this has been a particularly long and grueling winter. Alas, back to the regular scheduled program.....
Our house in tiny. But our 70kg St Bernard bundle of lovin' is not. That means her bed is not one of those cute canopy-style beds that you see Paris Hilton's dogs in. Our girl needs a good place to slumber, and the bed that we have her in now is a disaster. I've seen the lot of dog beds that they have out there, but most of them don't fit her, and the ones that do have that not-so-lovely polyester feel and styrofoam filling. Uh - YUCK! Yuck to sleep on, and double yuck for the environment!
Since looking for a replacement, I think I found seventh doggie heaven in Big Shrimpy's recycled pet beds. Made from 75% recycled materials and filled with SmartFill, Big Shrimpy's own recycled blend of polyester fibers, this is the eco dog bed du jour. For our big girl, I'm loving the look of the Nest, as it looks poofy enough to withstand the test of time, and it has the added bonus of resembling a human bed (which strangely I think our dog prefers too!?). My favorite part has to be that the SmartFill filling can actually be removed and washed as well - that gets double cheers from home of the big drool machine! I think we know what's on our pet wish list for this year.....
