We went to an auction last year right after we moved to Arkansas.  There was a youth bed with a famous brand mattress on it.I said I wanted to buy it for a little boy we know.  When we got home, I pointed out that it had pink hearts on the head and foot.  "Well...we can't give a little boy a bed decorated like that"...hubby says.  It took me about five minutes to rig up the ropes to pull it up onto the balcony outside our bedroom.  I made the bed and then called Cygnet upstairs.  I pointed out the bed, whispered that it belonged to her and she was up on it immediately.  Her bed is in front of the door to the balcony, which happens to be on my side of the bed.  When she was ill recently, I pulled her bed right up to my side where I could keep a hand on her.  When I change our sheets, Cygnet's sheets get changed too.  She really hates it every morning when I make up her bed and sneaks back up every now and then to nap after she gets tired of napping on her huge round cushion she lays on in the living room.  Since my computer now works, we plan to make another trip to the pet store when we go to back to Texas for a few days next month...must buy her a cushion bed for the office.  She also gets wrapped presents at Christmas and birthday.  I will be posting a photo of her opening her own presents as soon as I remember how to do it.  She has two huge baskets of toys ranging from squeak toys to a "mink teddy bear".  Her most favorite thing is to ride in "Truck-Truck" since we bought a truck with a back seat.

last week garbo found a gallon jug of shampoo in the laundry room. She loves plastic bottles and this one although full was no exception. When she got it in the family room she chewed off the top and spilled it all over the fairly new carpeting.We were in the computor room and didn't know this was happening . When I came into the room I could not believe it and called for her. She was under the dinning room table with her ears back knowing she was a bad girl. One look at the saddness in her eyes for misbehaving and she had me.I never seemed to have trouble scoulding my children, but it's hard to scould her, hence, she is spoiled rotten.

 

I do believe that he has never in his life went more than five minutes without a pet during the day though.  He is always in the middle of whatever we are doing!  Of course, we love that!

We had only had our Great Dane for about 2 weeks when we decided that placing her bowls on the kitchen chairs wasn't a good raised feeder for her to have. So we hand made her one out of wood. After is was all assembled we painted it a high gloss black. Which thankfully was also waterproof since she flings water everywhere when she gets a drink. But the high gloss black allowed for the wood grain to show through which looks just awesome. We had used a jigsaw to cut out spots on the top specifically to fit her bowls so they wouldn't move around. Once the paint had dried. We painted by hand her name, food, and water on the top of the feeder. Along with some little hearts to go along with it. Underneath it has a place specifically to store her food and treats. Naww....she's not spoiled at all....

I wish I could paste a picture of it in here...it really turned out pretty neat...

Magic sleeps in our bed, prefers a cuddle to food he is an absolute joy.  Life without a great dane never again!!!!!

Her name is really Lightning, but I call her Wiggler.  As the rest of you she is very loved but others may call it spoiled.  She has her own couch and chair in the living room, depending on whether she wants to stretch out or curl up.  She also has her own full size bed right beside mine.(Although she prefers to sleep with me).  She will be 7 years this December but is still in surprisingly wonderful shape.  She has 2 cats she treats as her pets and brings a great deal of joy into my life.  Being a single female I would take her over anyone anyday.
