After 16 hours I think I've finally thrown every sticker wrapper away.
You live you learn, I guess.
The foam stickers almost found their way to the garbage entirely, but I know if I did that one rainy day I'd be wishing I had something to keep the kids from killing me.
So, I did the only logical thing, I stashed them in my underwear drawer.
You remember Koko, right?
The little 4 pound Toy Fox Terrier?
Well, a few weeks back Koko gutted her bed. I figured as punishment for such an act making her wait a few weeks for a new one would teach her a lesson. Pretty good at this parenting thing, don't ya think? Really, I just kept remembering she needed a new one when we were home but forgetting when we were near a store to actually purchase a bed.
Last Saturday Koko's luck changed. I was walking down the aisle in Costco and saw it. It was only $16 and even though it seemed a little big in the store I thought well it's better than nothing and it's cheap! (Have you seen how much those pet places charge for those cushy beds? You'd think they were stuffed with gold for those prices.)
I should have realized when I was looking at the bed in Costco that it was not 'a little big'. Costco carries nothing 'a little big'. Costco carries one size, size ENORMOUS. But, the perception in that store throws you off. When everything is sold by the case a pet bed looks small-ish in comparison to everything including a case of eggs. And, when you forget the pet you are actually purchasing said bed for is only 4 pounds the pet bed at Costco for $16 looks like a steal.
Until you bring it home. And, you let the 4 pound dog try it on for size.

Can you even see Koko?
The bed swallows Koko up entirely.
I mean, maybe a bed this size would be appropriate if Koko were starting a Doggie Brothel which I suppose is feasible given her recent track record but surely the kids would put a stop to that. They hate strange dogs.
But, it was $16 and that bed is 4 times the size the pet stores sell for twice the price. Koko is keeping this bed and she is going to like it, damn it! There I go again showing off my parenting skills.

I'm with you on the bed price thing. Freaking PetSmart and others are out of their minds when it comes to prices for that sort of stuff. Just think, though. Now you have a nice little nap corner for the two children and canine rapist.

Great stuff! It will take her some time to find the edges to chew the stuffing out and not to mention all the time it will stake for her to get ALL the stuffing out! ;)
Doggie Brothel! How funny. What would you call it? Koko's Krazy Kennel?
I love it! LOL! Look how cute the kiddos look on the doggie bed! LOL!
OMG - Our dog TOTALLY need a new bed but I REFUSE to pay $50 for another one. (She ate hers at the kennal why we were on vacation - those bastards locked her up the entire time I know it why else would she eat her bed??) Costco I'm a going - can I buy it without a membership? will it still be $16?
Time to buy more dogs - it's the only logical solution! ;-)
I LOVE Costco. The only problem I have is when Sophia is starting to outgrow a diaper size and I stand there wondering, should I get another HUGE box on the current size or just move on up.
Hey There Zimk And Ace! Nice picture of Aspen. First time I've seen a recent photograph of her without half her face scraped off!
I didn't know that KoKo was at home. I thought the sentance was a rehab facility and mandated couneling.
Who doesn't love Costco. I mean I love love love it. When I go with Doc we can single handedly come back with more crap than we have room for. Its amazing and even though we have no where to put it...we got a deal! Love the brothel bed! I hear that color is good for customers.
A dog AND kid bed for only $16!? I need to go get myself one, so EVERYONE stops drooling on my couches:)
I thought for sure that KOKO was fake, hmm shows what I know. You could always sell the kids beds and let them all sleep on that enourmous thing.
King size bed! Everyone likes a big bed! I am sure Koko appriciates it too.
