I sometimes move over enough to let my Pawrents sleep here too! I loan them a pillow and sometimes 
I even let them cover themselves with a blanket. They don't have fur, you know, so they can get a bit chilled. I love them almost as much as a comfy bed, so I share Love, Daryl

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

LOL must be a retriever thing. I bought Chandler this really nice orthopedic bed , but he prefers the wood floor or tile in our bathroom.
