Dog Prep: The Instantly Changeable Dog Bed
We’re excitedly waiting to adopt Chloe! For those of you who bought quilts, we did it!. We think we’ve reached our goal. Not only do we have adoption fees coming, all three cats and Lotus need their shots updated. We’re hoping for our application to clear soon. If you bought a quilt, Thank you! It’s making this possible.
For fun, and as a thank you, I thought I’d share my favorite dog bed recipe. I developed these after living with Cara, who was a magnificent greyhound with a small problem. As she got older, she started waking up wet. We needed to be able to change her bed at a moment’s notice. This was the answer.
Instantly Changeable Dog Bed
I use
- 1/2 of a four inch deep slab of foam from Joann’s
- 2 plastic leaf size garbage bags
- duct tape
Put the slab of foam into the black plastic bag. If it’s not big enough, put the slab in from the other side. Seal it with duct tape.
Baby crib sheet
You can purchase a baby sheet. But they’re easy to make.
To make a baby crib sheet you’ll need a
- Serger
- 1 7/8ths yard of soft cotton fabric 45: wide
- 1 pk of 3/8″ elastic
Cut a 9″ square out of each corner of the fabric. Sew the diagonal corners together. Apply gathered elastic around the edge.
For extra comfort add
- a baby pad for moisture protection
- An old quilt
Lotus loves her beds. But she’s not the only one. Lewis truly believes they’re just for him.
We’ll be leaving up the sale quilts for a week or so and will add a few more pieces as I clean the studio out more. Check on the Quilts for Sale and Small Quilts for sale page for some amazing quilt bargains or check the Etsy shop.
If you’ve already purchased a quilt, thank you so much! It’s making our dream for a new dog come true!
