A New Bed for Buddy

When we got Buddy, we got him a bed for the bedroom.  When we moved, it made its way out to our living room for him to sleep in when we are watching TV.  That left nothing in the bedroom for him to sleep on at night.  Enter random old pillows we had in the house.  For the last couple of moths, he has been sleeping on a couple of old pillows we covered with a blanket.  He didn't seem to mind at all. 

After a while, I got tired of looking at this random setup in the bedroom and went on the hunt for something a little classier for him to sleep on.  In pricing out dog beds at the pet stores, there was no way I was going to spend $50 + on a bed (sorry Buddy).  I took to Pinterest!  I'm not very handy with a sewing machine, so I had to find something that required little to no sewing.  Anyone remember the fleece tie blankets everyone was making a couple of years ago?  Yep, I made a dog bed using that technique and it turned out pretty sweet if I do say so myself.  I found some adorable paw print fabric that is super soft, and backed it with black fleece.  I spent about $20 on the fleece, the print fleece was a little more expensive, but I had to have it.  For the filling, I cut open the 3 old pillows we had sitting around and filled his new bed with the pillow filling.  Check it out...

I tried to get a picture of Buddy on the bed, but he just ran away.  I think he is camera shy.  The other night I tried to take a picture of him while he was sleeping and he woke up and turned around with his rear facing me.  Andrew thought it was hilarious, probably because he doesn't like photos either. 

Success!!!
