Christmas came early for the Weims

I ordered a beautiful new bed from Orvis for the girls that came last week. I get only one bed because they really don't sleep in the bed, just lounge in it while they chew bones. And only one dog uses it at a time.

Might I add that almost every bed I have ever bought ends up having holes chewed in it and the stuffing pulled out in no time. I usually cover the beds in a throw so the dogs can root around and nest in the throw and chew on the throw if they must chew on something. And might I also add that I usually don't leave the dogs loose in the office when I leave the house. They are put in their kennels.

You can probably guess where this is going. I felt sorry for Steffi the other day when she balked at going into her kennel, so I left her loose in the office. When I came home, sure enough, she had chewed a hole in the new bed.

It had lasted a week, maybe two.

Fortunately, I can turn the pillow over and it's not noticeable. Until another hole is chewed. Oh well. I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just wanted it to be later.

Orvis advertises a sturdy, "chew-proof" fabric covering for some of their beds. I might have to try that, even though those beds don't look very comfy.
