House Squatting with Hobbs

Not that kind of squatting!

Sometimes Hobbs and Tilly hang out in the kitchen together so we keep an extra bed in there for such occasions. Tilly has to have really tough beds made out of upholstery fabric because she loves to chew on sherpa and she is one of those dogs who feels the need to dig a spot for herself before she lies down. It took a lot of experimenting and many a shredded bed to find the shapes and materials that work for the old gal.

I was pretty excited a couple of weeks ago when after talking to a distributor's rep about tough beds, I discovered this Pet Cave bed. It's made of upholstery  material and soy based foam and can hold up to Tilly's nesting habits. She loves the fact that it's a little cave and she can hide out in her den and survery her domain.

Well, Hobbs thinks the bed is pretty spectacular as well so when Tilly is busy cruising along the cabinets, looking for dropped food or a cabinet door that's slightly ajar he will hop in the cave and enjoy it for awhile. And if he's lucky, when she notices he's in her bed she'll just go use the other one. This happens about 50% of the time and the other times she grouches at him until he hops out.  This day Hobbs was lucky. Looks pretty comfy, huh? Later Tilly did reclaim her bed, but that's okay. Hobbs found a better spot to snooze later that evening as you can see in the video below.
