Funny - I also save for dog beds. What's funny is I made a test bed for my doxie last evening and as I was stuffing the scraps, he decided he wanted to play with the scraps (???? don't know why, guess all those scraps looked like fun). So, stuffing his bed was more fun than not LOL
When he decided he was done playing, he laid on it -- still trying to get the stuffing in. I had to get him a little treat to get him off it then put it on the sofa to finish. He ate his treat, looked at me then sat up as if to say "Mom, I want my new bed back".
I got up to get the needle and thread to sew it shut and when I got back, he was up on the sofa, laying on the bed. So I had to sew it shut while he was laying on it.
Guess he likes his new bed LOL
