Baylee's New Dog Bed

We had plans for an overnight sailing trip this weekend, but Saturday's rainy weather prompted us to re-evaluate those plans.  Last summer after we first got Sun Break, we didn't let a little inclement weather stop us.  That only added to the fun.

But this year we are willing to wait out the weather in the relative comfort of home.  Guess the newness has worn off a bit.  As a result, Baylee got a new dog bed as the rainy day project.  We had tried couple of store-bought beds that just didn't seem right so it seemed we needed to custom make one for her.  Turns out that with a little guidance from some online tutorials, it was not too difficult.  I used some colorful, coordinating fabrics for the front and sides and fleece for the back.





The finished product.






We had to bribe her with treats to get her on it at first, but she seems to be getting used to it.





She has a matching collar that we had previously made.  Unsure if she realizes that her collar matches her bed.



Have a great week!
