So my human was looking at this ad by some mattress company,  talking about the fact that they had done research and designed the perfect pet bed.  They studied us dogs and our sleeping habits and supposedly came up with the ultimate solution for slumber for us canines.

In their research, they learned that we dogs often like to dig at a surface before we lie down.  This is typical of Einstein.  He will scratch and dig with all his might - on the ceramic tile.  During those times, the name Einstein does not appear to fit.  I mean I understand that we dogs do this based on centuries old behaviors - where we would scratch earth to get to cooler soil.  But seriously, scratching the tile?  It appears to be a fairly unproductive behavior.  We also DO scratch at our bed - or our human's bed - as we can adjust the surface.   The company with the perfect dog bed supposedly designed it of a tough fabric, resistant and durable enough to withstand all of our digging.  Unfortunately, we will also CHEW soft bedding if allowed to do so.

We dogs also often like to find resting spots that are in awkward places.  It is is believed we do so because we are trying to find a spot that is like a protective den.  Einstein is able to contort himself into all kinds of spots-under chairs, small tables - halfway under the bed.... The perfect bed is designed with sides  to be like a protective den.  But keep in mind that protective sides have corners too.  For chewing.  

The more my human read about the perfect bed, the more she thought it wouldn't be so perfect in our house.  Remember the ultimate bed made of a rubber-like material that we started to destroy about 10 minutes after it came in the house?  So far - the ONLY bed that has withstood the test of us three musketeers is the Kuranda bed.  The one made of steel legs.  Well maybe it's not steel - but it's tough.  We DID chew the pillow that rested on the bed - my human still thinks she can "fix" it.  It's been in the garage for like 18 months so I'm not thinking it will be happening any time soon.  But we still use the bed without the pillow.  

And all of this bed talk got my human thinking - when will the FG be allowed out of his crate at night?  I mean I was about a year old when I was allowed night time freedom.  However - I'm not so sure there will be room for all of us on my human's bed - and let's face it - that's where Einstein and I sleep.  So I'm voting that he stays in his crate.  It can house a small pony, and he doesn't mind it - so why rock the boat? Or should I say, why rock the bed?  If my human DOES try to let him loose, I suggest she tries it on a night when she doesn't have to go to work the next day.  Because it could be a LONG night...

Anyway - sweet dreams and get ready - it's FRIDAY - so let the weekend begin!!!!
