Pawsse Dog Blanket

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

I thought: 'That is a large napkin.' But it unfolded and I saw it was thicker. I sniffed it. It smelled like new fabric and nothing interesting. I walked away. Later I came back because the couch is my spot.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

It doesn't smell like much. That's both good and bad. Good because it's not chemical. Bad because it's not food or you. I rolled on it yesterday. Now it smells a little like me, so that's an improvement. Hey, do we have any of those cheese treats left?

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

It's fine. I sleep on it sometimes. It doesn't slide off the couch like that other blanket. It's warm enough. The cat stepped on it once and I had to re-claim it. That's a point in its favor: it survived a cat.

Dad

I paid $50 for this. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

Fifty dollars? That's a lot of treats. You could have bought me a whole bag of those chicken strips I like. But if you're set on a blanket, this one is not embarrassing. It doesn't shed fuzz into my nose. I'd say it's worth about thirty treats.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

Yes, but only if they like a solid, no-nonsense blanket that doesn't smell like a wet dog right out of the package. It's not exciting. It's reliable. That counts for something in this house.
