    Hi All,
    delighted to be Blitzen’s/Sam’s new parents! We have renamed him Rufus. He has already taken to his new name. Picked him up on Saturday and within an hour of being home, it felt like he had lived here all his life. He is an amazing dog, everyone he meets is amazed by his gentle manner. We’ve had a few problems with him and chewing things at night or if we popped for a while, but he just looks at you and all is forgiven! He isnt so fond of being put outside (although he is a pup, he has a grown-ups voice and will not keep quiet)

    Ill post updates soon I hope
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    One of my 3 was a divil for chewing at night. Be it skirting, walls or cables!! So i rub Teatree oil on the stuff they chew. And maybe invest in a kong and freeze it during ther day with something very enticing inside and then leave it out at night as a substatute for your skirting!!

    I will say Mya grew out of the chewing once she turned one.

    Wow they look like a good fit on that bed, not crushed or squeezed ;)
    I had to get these beds last year when I moved as the fabric beds were sweating on the laminate floors, and I was blaming all the male dogs for lifting their legs…………..not guilty :oops:
    Because these beds are slightly raised dogs avoid draughts.
    It’s surprising how draughty it is low down.
    These beds are excellent in terms of low maintenance and the dogs love them. Also they tend not to destroy or shred them……..useful in some cases. :roll:
    Very important for these type of beds is lack of movement when the dog gets on board. It seems if they move initally dogs loose confidence and then wont use them.
    Enjoy Rufus and Blondie.
