Even though Mom and Dad have a king bed and I LOVE to sleep on it with them (and they don’t mind when I do), but let’s face it: I am a big boy! I weigh nearly 80 lbs. and when I stretch out, I am about as long as the bed is wide.

Yesterday, Mom had the bright idea (she is SO smart!) to have some thick plywood cut to fit between the bed and the wall, raise it up to bed-height on cinder blocks, pad it and put my new dog bed on top. I love it and slept there last night for the first time!
