I am sure I am not alone in the quest for the perfect dog bed. Of course, my situation is a unique one and my needs are not like many others out there, but my latest find could potentially solve many’s issues. Washing dog beds is always a nightmare. Finding a washing machine with the capacity needed is always an issue. Then of course comes the foam vs. fluff problem. If the dog bed has foam pieces in it, the moment you wash it, that foam dislodges out of place and becomes a twisted mess. I resolved both of those issues when I made these dogs beds that include a zippered cover and four individual pillow pieces that can be removed and all washed separately. My...

Read MoreI have often raised an eyebrow when seeing people walk around my neighborhood with their dogs in a stroller. The whole “dog walk” thing is suppose to be to exercise the dog and burn energy. Perhaps for elderly dogs and cats, that I could totally understand. But young and active pets? What is the purpose? Up until just recently did I see the real reason to even contemplate the idea.
