I can't believe that he's ten years old already! He's still pretty spry, but that's no puppy anymore. For Christmas, I'm bringing him a self-warming Crate Pad... I think everyone will like it because it's compact and easy to move around, and would be extra helpful to him if he needs to be outside in his doghouse for any length of time. Plus it comes in black plush to match shed Black Lab hair, which I think my mother-in-law will appreciate...

My black lab (Lucky) ended up with 5 beds, all in different rooms. He even had a "sleep over bed" because my teens so often had friends over, and Lucky wanted right in the middle of the action all night long. He loved all his beds, and looked so cute all snuggled up. When we brought our current dog (Kobe) home from the shelter, it quickly became obvious that he was allowed on furniture in his previous home. Since he's only 20 pounds and fairly mellow, we somehow abandoned our "no dogs on furniture" rule. Although he has 4 dog beds, he doesn't use them quite as often as Lucky did. Kobe does regularly use the one we keep in his crate, and I think he appreciated the upgrade from a blanket to a bed in there.
