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.
