Resting Places  

Thats one thing I hate to do is vaccum fur off the furniture. Our dogs are all outside pets, but sometimes we will let one of them in, he's my pet, but I don't let him on the furniture, he has to stay on the floor, I don't have a bed for him tho. We used to have an old couch that we would let the dogs get on, but we threw it out and bought a new one, so they aren't getting on the new one...lol.

My dog has short hair and don't really shed much at all. He does get on the bed to sleep and in the liviing room he also has a little bed plus my daughter left a pillow bed here. My cat lays on a pillow on the love seat.

I bought a little blankie for my cat, which is supposed to generate heat. Cats love to be warm and fuzzy. One of my cats used it for about two weeks, then stopped, the other cat wasn't interested in it at all. They would rather curl up pn the couch, chair, bed or window sill.
You doggie looks very content, Buster is smart he knows a good thing when he sees it
Yes, and the fur is out of control, I have two long hairs, the vacuum stays out, because it not stop.
Have a great day.

Great photo, Grandpa Bob. Buster looks so cozy lying there. Anna Belle is long haired, so she does shed a lot, and especially at certain times of the year. I place an old comforter on my bed (on top of my good one), each morning. I then place her special blanket near the head of the bed. She heads upstairs every afternoon, for a major nap there. This is her favourite resting place. As a matter of fact, she's there right now. I also have a pet basket on a chest at the foot of my bed, which she likes also. In the evening, she comes downstairs and lays beside me on the couch. She loves to have her tummy rubbed. She also manages to get on both the couch and love seat, when we're out. I discourage her from doing that, unless I'm sitting beside her. We do have a special brush that works really well, for removing her hair from the furniture too.

Yes we have pet beds all over our house for any of our pets to use. Having 10 cats and 3 dogs, we need them all! We do let them on the furniture but the furniture is vacuumed every week so it's all cared for and clean. Now when we had bigger dogs, they weren't allowed on the furniture because they took up too much space. Another reason we vacuum the furniture is because of crumbs and lent and what ever else gets under the cushions and that causes bugs and that isn't going to happen!! lol

He looks so comfy and happy! I think the pillows are great! For us and for them!

I used to have a cat, he had his own bed, but he always liked to lie on my spare bed, so I bought a great big furry blanket to put over it. My mum has a little dog, she has a pillow, but I have never seen her laying on it ever. I think animals think they are humans and just copy us. I am glad Buster likes his pillow. Yes fur on the furniture is hard to get off. My cat casted like mad and I had to vacuum daily. Do not allow your animals on the furniture. You have have your dog trained well. Well done.

I found with dogs that having a kennel is a necessary. Zoe being just over a year old has been housebroken within days of getting her, but her chewing is terrible..So terrible, that she will take something of ours into her kennel and sometimes I catch it before she destroys it, but other times, like last week, I don't.. Found a brand new spool of thread, and she had chewed it up so well, it took a while for us to figure out what it was..

So her bed is in her kennel, she has a nice old blanket and when we go somewhere or overnight, she is locked in..But she doesn't mind it, because like right now, she is in there resting on her own with the door opened..She knows it is her spot to sleep, even though she does occasionally sleep on the floor in the living room or kitchen, the kennel is her primary sleeping/resting place..

(Your title startled me for a moment, "Resting Places" and then the first words, "This is my beloved beagle BUSTER" I thought he had died..)

So do I. I don't like furs on the furniture. Though we don't have pillows for our dog but we give him space for resting. I only have a dog in our house. I put him on his house but sometimes I let him in and place him on our mat.

Grandpa , that is the cutest picture. It dosent look like he has any problems sleeping.
