Vern and his Dog Bed!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Vern needs your help.  Fudge once had a bed, long before Vern, called the Coolaroo bed.  She wouldn't step foot on that bed.

The bed sat around in our house for a bit and finally I moved it outside in the hopes that a friendly woodchuck or fawn would find it accommodating for their needs and drag it off our property.  No such luck and the bed just sat outside unused and unwanted.

Then along came Vern!

He fell in love with that bed.  He has never slept in the bed, but he loves to dig on it and roll around on it and chew an occasional bone on that green bed. If he is stressed when Grandma is here and sitting on his other chair, or newly clean from the groomers, or feeling happy, or dirty, the first thing he does is jump on that bed and dig and dig and dig. Either that or roll, roll, and roll.  It is like therapy on a green bed for Vern.

Vern has had to defend his bed from vicious predators.

Although Vern appears to be very brave, just like a lion, sometimes his fears get the best of him and that bed is his giant pacifier.  He knows he doesn't have to hide if his bed is available.

Every week when I mop the floors, under Vern's bed is the dirtiest place in the house. He has wrecked so many covers that we have had to order more, at least seven times.  Amazon prices have gone up on the covers because of supply and demand. Little do they know it is only one dog who is the cause of the increase in sales. His name is Vern!

Right this very minute, here is what Vern's bed looks like. When he digs, he hits the floor now.

We have the cover. We are just waiting for someone to put the cover on.  The man who lives here is a procrastinator. He keeps promising to get around to doing it. The woman who lives here claims she doesn't know how to put the new cover on.  Vern needs help.

As well he should be. :)

Who isn't?

I had a dog once that did this to the COUCH! So putting the new cover on saves your furniture! Tell him that!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Yep, Ginny, you have it right. It is either a new cover or a new couch and at around $14.00 the cover is much cheaper.

Laurie, we can't have a depressed, droopy doodle here on DK!  There's an answer to every problem. Think about it...

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Ha ha Ricki, perfect. I have a friend who says "I am going to hire this out next week" and somehow her "handy" but "procrastinating" hubby always seems to get it done. There have been, on occasion, when she actually does hire it out and he is always ticked, but in her defense, he always has the option.

Her home is a well oiled machine and it is always in perfect order. Frankly I can't even imagine it. LOL They have 2 adopted/rescued Pit bull mixes and not kids.

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Lisa, "in perfect order"? What does that mean? LOL

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Ricki, I want one :) LOL

Poor Vern.  Your mom can figure out how to work a high tech camera but can't be bothered to figure out how to fix your bed.  She had the time to take photos to document the death of your oh so important bed yet didn't take the time help a doodle out.   Poor Poor Vern.  Hopefully someone comes to your rescue soon because you are too cute to be without your bed for long.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Amy, You sound like one of my daughters. LOL It is never John's fault :) Well, this falls under his duties, not mine!! Someone has to get him trained better!

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

Husbands can be like dogs.  Since you have already been married for so long, I think you missed your training window and might be stuck with some of these behaviors now.
