A Bed for Ned



Ideally it would have been great to have had a bed built for Ned just like this one above when we were renovating last year however, we weren't considering a new puppy at that time. So, after all my thoughts of where or what Ned will sleep in it seems he has opted for the easiest option of all. He loves to sleep on a towel, albeit an Ralph Lauren towel, on the floor right next to my side of our bed....yes I know I am a softie letting him sleep inside but that's just the way I am. I couldn't sleep knowing he was outside all on his own. He has found his resting spot and I'm thrilled.

    Ned is indeed an absolutely beautiful thing! He looks so soft & cuddly and is obviously already feeling quite at home with you.

    Too cute. Yes I am a softy too and can't bear the thought of our doggy sleeping outside. We've had her for 9 years. She sleeps in a bed next to my son. Very sweet :)

    Oh Anna that's lovely.... They give you so much love and its perfect for them to be close to you. Breaks my heart to see dogs not being treated as they should be. And Ralph Lauren, great to see he is only starting off with the best!!!!

    Be still my heart! Ned is completely adorable. But of course he must sleep inside. How could it be otherwise!

    Anna, he is absolutely divine! Of course he belongs next to you, and our precious pups deserve the best. Ned is on his very own(!) Ralph Lauren towel, my retriever Max loves his bemboka throw! He's just gorgeous, enjoy:-) Claire

    I think they need the companionship and my puppy (although she is 12) sleeps on her bed beside our bed. Have fun.

    Oooooh! What an adorable cutie! I just want to snuggle with him on his (ahem) Ralph Lauren towel. I have rabbits, though, and I don't think they'll like me if I smell like a doggie! =D

    Sweet, the dog has good taste in towels at an early age...
    Dogs are family...we do not put family outside to sleep? ok only when camping...and then in a travel trailer with a bathroom and tv...
    We had a greyhound and 2 cats that slept on our bed...they were my 3 fury daughters, my human daughters had bedrooms down the hall.
    oh, by the way, great name "Ned"

    OK Ned is the sweetest little thing ever. No way I could have him sleep outdoors. Plus, where I grew up in Westchester County, NY people never left their dogs outside. It was a strange realization to me that it was common practice to keep your dog outside. Suddenly a dog house made more sense to me than just as sun shade and a cute little structure in the back yard. I don't have a dog yet (working on the husband) but ours will sleep in doors. If the cats are any indication the dog will likely be on the bed between us. (LOL)

    How cute he looks adorable & what good taste finding a spot on a Ralph loren lauren towel I can see he will grow with style (hee), it brings back the memories of my dog when she was a little puppy, they grow so quickly.

    Hi Anna! I love, love your blog. Ned is a cutie. Indeed puppies should be allowed to sleep next to their new humans. So, well done!

    Dogs need companionship; it's good to have them indoors. I think they are even more protective and alert that way, as well. My husband does draw the line, however, at having them actually in our bed--mainly because they begin to take over the whole thing for themselves!

    We had a "golden" for 13 years and you will be amazed at how wonderful this breed is. he was a big part of my son's growing up years and was another human as far as we were concerned. Goldens are a fabulous breed, so intelligent, and a real family dod. Enjoy and be prepared to fall in love.

    Anna, Ned is just super - I am sure Harry will treasure him as his bestest firend ever! I am so pleased you named hime a unique 'human like' name. Our 2 'fur babies' Lucy & Zach seemed as spoiled as what your Ned is too! I think he'll be a great addition to your family and also great company whilst your working from home, or at the office!
    Take care, S x

    He is adorable! And he will make a great addition to any photo you take of a finished project. Puppies curled up on the floor or the sofa always make a space look so much more comfortable and inviting.
