Bed-Wars

I popped over to see a friend this morning. She had asked me if I wanted a bed she had recently bought for her dog (a Border collie), which had proven to be a bit small.  I said, yes, please.  After all, there will always be someone in our house who can use it.

We placed the bed amongst the others and Ted liked the look and promptly plonked himself in.

Yes, this definitely had a potential lovely-dog-bedness feeling about it.

And Ted happily settled knowing this was now Ted’s bed.

Definitely Ted’s perfect bed for Ted and no one else because it belongs to Ted now.  Them’s his rules.

But is it, though?

The bed could now be Monster’s perfect bed.

Monster promptly made himself comfortable and, feeling a little too relaxed and happy, decided to make it his own.

He had a wash.

So, it’s Monster’s bed now because Monster has decided that is the way it will be (and now Ted hasn’t got his bed and I feel awful…. For a short while, Ted was so happy.)

    Then Pepper will wee the bed…Our labradoodle has a bed probably large enough for the Shetland ponies or a chubby Great Dane (if there is such a thing as a plump Great Dane), but when Annie leaves her bed, Nicholas (the smallest of the three males) immediately crawls into the middle & settles in for a long nap. It will be interesting to see if the Ted/Monster is shared or if becomes a solo encampment. ;-}

    Poor little Ted….he is such a sweetie. Big fat spoilt Monster always getting his own way. Why do we give into cats ?

    Poor Ted ! Make Monster give it back, it looks so perfect for Ted and Monster will get over it. He has no shortage of places to sleep.
