If anyone doesn't have a dog, or the dog doesn't need a new bed - consider making a bed (or 2 or more!) for your local animal shelter. They are so appreciative. You don't have to use a pillowcase - you can make one from some of your ugly fabric that you wonder why you bought to begin with. Or you can stitch together larger scraps. The animals aren't fussy!
