MidWest Homes for Pets Deluxe Dog Beds

Dad

You didn't look thrilled when I brought this home. First impressions?

Boldo

It's beige. Why is it beige? Everything you buy is beige. Also it smelled like plastic and chemicals, which took a solid hour to stop being offensive. The shape is fine. The size is fine. But I need to know where it came from before I commit to sleeping on it.

Dad

Tell me about the texture. I know you have opinions about texture.

Boldo

The outer fabric is microsuede—soft enough, doesn't irritate my nose when I'm pressed against it at weird angles. The memory foam inside is thick. Too thick, probably. It doesn't compress the way I like. I prefer to feel the ground slightly. This is like sleeping on a cloud, and clouds are not real, Dad.

Dad

So it's been a few days. Have your feelings changed at all?

Boldo

Fine. It's growing on me. The smell wore off by day two, which helped. My hips feel better than they did on the tile, and I've stopped resenting it every time I lie down. Is this approval? Maybe. Speaking of which—do we have cheese in the kitchen right now? I smell something from over there.

Dad

The cat got one of these too. I'm curious what you make of that.

Boldo

Of course the cat got one. Everything good goes to the cat first. But here's what bothers me: she's using it wrong. She sits on the edge and just looks at me. She's not even sleeping on it properly. Meanwhile, mine is actually shaped to my body now, and she's out here treating hers like a throne. It's disrespectful.

Dad

Bottom line — poo emojis. How many?

Boldo

Four. It does what it's supposed to do, it holds up, and I've stopped hating mornings because my bed doesn't feel like punishment anymore. But it's not exceptional. It's just a good bed. Don't expect miracles, but your dog will be comfortable, and you'll stop feeling guilty about the hardwood situation.
