Well, Tami (boyfriend's step mom) was bragging about how she bought her Chi a 100 dollar bed with a memory foam mattress and how he loves it. It's true, he really does like it, and the bed looks very cute. So she went on to how "Oh, I thought you would care for Butter enough to get him a real bed instead of those 10 dollar beds.." So I got to thinking. How could I shove it up her caboose, plus get Butter a nice looking bed..but for free. Well, my Grandpa has a wood shop and I am pretty skilled in wood working (thanks to highschool shop) and I decided that I was going to make him one! It might not be as fancy, but It sounded fun to do.
So the first thing I did was research what wood is good for dogs and what is not. Pine was ok as long as it wasn't overpowering smell. The wood that we found was kind of oldish so the wood had a nice scent, but you could barely smell it.
We then looked up what kind of paint to use, and non toxic paint was fine to be used around dogs. So I borrowed some from my Dad who had painted his dog house with it.
So everything was all set! It took a total of just 30 min to do! and it came out very nice! The painting isn't done yet, because we want the first coat to get it's scent to fade off and then we'll add a second coat probably tomorrow!
It's going to be Green and Blue tyedye bed
We're working on trying to find a pillow that he can use for it, but for now we'll put his 10 dollar doggy bed in it so he can sleep on.
He slept in it all last night
Made a Bed for Butter :)
