Back in July we decided to buy Bert a Coolaroo bed for his first birthday, after seeing them on a dog days of summer amazon ad. I'd never heard of Coolaroos, but there were over 500 rave reviews, along with dozens of seriously cute photos of happy dogs laying on theirs. Well, you can add Bert to that list of comfortable customers! He tried to climb on his (which is cadet blue—they come in four colors) before Joe even had it fully assembled.
This is seriously the best pet purchase we've ever made—with the Cozy Cottage Dog Houses coming in second. (We've had one Cozy Cottage over a dozen years, and it still looks like new.)
There's no doubt about it—farm dogs love stinky stuff. There's nothing like relaxing on a giant pile of aged sheep manure! So when I pulled an icky vet wrap bandage off a ewe's hoof yesterday and tossed it into an old wheelbarrow (where it would be out of reach of the dogs) while we finished chores, it was no surprise that beagle Bert sniffed it out in seconds.
