This is Cricket on her new bed at my office. I had to take a picture because she is actually lying on it. Her other bed was pretty flat and so I decided she needed a new one. She hasn't really been happy about it and has been spending more time on the carpet than on her bed sometimes with a little sigh to let me know she is not thrilled with this change. I've tried to explain to her that as the quote goes: Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks or discomforts. I am asking her to give this new bed a chance ... maybe a week to be open to the change - perhaps we will bring one of her fleeces from home to help her embrace the change. I realize that as I am giving this peptalk to Cricket ... I appreciate change is not easy.

She actually looks sort of pathetic on it...has a little furrow in her brow! It is a beautiful bed...all nice a fluffy. I would happily lay on the floor and curl up in it!
I know ... the colors are great for my office chairs, etc - yeah, I hope the Cricket smile takes the places of the furrow brow soon! I'll give her a few more days to warm up to this change in her life!
Bringing her fleece from home is a great idea to lay with her bed. We changed our dog bed covers from fleece to something more cool for the summer. Desma & Dakota would not lie on their new bed covers for 2 weeks. Finally, they are using them again, but they didn't appreciate the change. Aren't they funny? Love, Debi
