Not Your Average Dog Bed

Somewhere in your attic there might be an old suitcase that can be turned into a dog bed. Not the modern soft suitcase; but the old fashioned ones that are hard and boxy.

Take four wooden legs (like you find on a couch) and attach them to the bottom of the suitcase.

Now add an old pillow from your bed to make it nice and soft for your little pooch. Added bonus: the pillow smells like you which makes the dog feel like he's sleeping in your bed. Using a pillow case will help to keep the 'mattress' cleaner. Wash the case once a week or so. Sprinkle some flea powder inside the pillow case.

Use the pocket in the lid for storing doggie toys in. Be sure to anchor the lid in such a way that it doesn't fall on your dog. Or remove the lid all together.

Bagel Yum Yums

When shopping for bagels buy enough for your dog to have some, too. Yes! It's true.

Let the bagels become rock hard in their staleness and then give them to your dog. He will love you for it.

They are chewy and give him some quality gnawing, and you know how he loves to chew and gnaw on things.

It's good for his teeth and gums. Keeps him from being bored when you're not there to entertain him.
