a sleeping dog will lie...

on her dog bed!

 More or less.

Got a little crafty over the vacation and made Zuzu a new dog bed.  When she gets sleepy she will truly plop down wherever she is but if given the choice she does look for some padding between her bones and a bare wood floor.

When she was a tiny puppy we bought her a puffy donut bed thinking it would be the perfect cozy nest.

Unfortunately, she was convinced it was a peepee pad.  She didn't mind sleeping in it once she had done her business, so it actually served a dual purpose (ugh!) but we were doing an awful lot of dog-bathing and laundry to keep her comfy and clean.  Eventually we had to toss it. 

As soon as I put this mat down on the floor she knew it was hers.  Maybe because it's pink.  It may not be as fancy as Marco's digs, but it will definitely do.  Fabric, pattern (more or less), and inspiration from the Purl Bee.
