I have an issue with the email soliciting comments as a dog bed does not get my happiness endorphins pumping. Truth be told, for the first half a day, he was scared witless of this big, lumpy, thing I put next to him. He got used to it though and now uses it often. He has degenerative arthritis and probably needed a bolster bed that he would step into easier as sometimes he limps a little getting out of this one. I do wish it had a removable cover for washing but for the money, it's fine.
