Very nice purchase.  I placed this bed inside the dog house outside. I did have remove half of the stuffing to get it to lie flat enough to get it through the opening, so I saved the stuffing to replenish it next year. My 11 year old  husky"alex" loves it. He is now sleeping inside the dog house at night instead of his hammock. I'm sure it feels great to his aging bones. I would highly recommend this bed for all outside doghouses.
