dog beds

There are two beds in my room. I sleep in one of them and then my yellow lab sleeps in the other. Well, my lab does not sleep in a normal bed. He has a dog bed that sits in the corner of my room near the door. Every night when I go upstairs to sleep, he is right behind me. The two of us have slept in the same room together since I brought him home from my neighbor's house. He was the runt of the litter and my neighbor promised I could have him for free. The two of us were inseparable growing up. If you saw me around the neighborhood or at the swimming pool, he was somewhere nearby never letting me get too far away. Now that I have gotten older and spend more time away from the house, I do not see him as much as I use to when we were both much younger. He still sleeps in the same room, though, and usually wakes me up early in the morning to let me it is time to go for a walk. At this point, I do not even need an alarm clock to get up in the morning. My yellow lab has trained me so well, he only has to set his head on the bed and I know it is time to get up for the day. When I am not in my room, he does not stay up there either. Instead, he makes his way into the kitchen where he sits and watches all the activity in the house. It is the best place to see all of us moving around. In fact, we decided to get him two durable dog beds. There is the one in my room and then my mom got him one for the kitchen. I love the one in my room, it is so easy to clean. It is a professional dog bed, and you just wipe it down, very durable. They are two different colors so we do not get them confused when we go to wash them. We have to wash them one at a time because he does not like it when we take both of them away from him at once. It is pretty funny to see him get upset about his beds, but I know how much he likes them.
