The Fashionable Dog

I’ve been known to spoil my 5 sons and my daughter. What most people don’t know is that I also spoil Belle, our beautiful, golden-eyed American Pit Bull Terrier. Forget what you’ve been told by the media about this breed; it’s all wrong. Pit Bulls are naturally human friendly and their worst trait is believing that they’re lap dogs.

Belle has a few favorite spots to curl up, either the big comfy chair or the couch. Sometimes she moves back and forth between the two places, being displaced by Kendyll or Levi. Belle just gets up and moves. Of course, she never complains. That’s why I’ve been searching for a nice dog bed for her.

Unfortunately, everything I’ve found so far has been so common and run-of-the-mill. My beautiful Bella Donna deserves something special. I’ve been looking for a special seat for her that will blend in with our family room and that Belle will want to sleep on. That has been a difficult task, at least it had been up until now.

classic dog couchI’ve finally found the perfect pet beds for any animal. I just love the classic doggy couch and I know Belle will, too. I’ve talked to Jesse about it and I think we’ll split the cost on this one. Belle actually belongs to both Jesse and me so we’ll take care of it together.

What I really love about this doggy couch is that it’s built specifically for dogs. The high back and deep seat give a secure, comfortable place for Belle to relax. This is so much better than the typical oval dog bed that you find in most pet stores. It’s ergonomically correct for dogs and it goes perfectly with any decor.

To make ordering even easier, ohmydogsupplies.com suggests upper weight limits for the various sizes of dog beds. That really helped because Pit Bulls are not really “big” dogs but they are pretty solid. Belle would need a large bed, according to the weight limits on the site. I love when online stores give you guidelines like that for ordering. It’s so much better than guessing wrong and having to ship it back.

Now I have to email Jesse with all the details. He wants to look around at the site, too. Of course, there’s no telling what else he may add to our shopping cart once he starts looking around. Like Mother, like son, eh?

  • yes, that is a pretty dog. It’s not mine, though. It’s a picture from the website. I have a Pit Bull. :)
