As I was walking Beano through the park y'day I noticed the ground was littered with twigs and branches that had blown from the trees.
When we lived on the boat we had a wood burning stove to heat it. When I walked Beano I used to collect the twigs as kindling and the bigger branches to use as fuel. Upon my return towards the our boat I would look for boat where there was already wood stacked for fuel and leave what I had collected beside that boat. There was no point me taking it to our boat as Steve refused to use collected wood in our wood burner, he considered it to be dirty and would only use wood he had purchased from a marina!
I keep seeing adverts for dog beds, all sorts of dog beds and occasionally I am tempted to buy one. Then I look at Beano, he is either asleep beside me on the sofa or if I'm in bed he's asleep on the pillow. There would be little point in buying him a bed. I am however considering buying him a set of steps to enable him to get on the sofa and bed as he's getting older now an less nimble.
Having said that, its cold this morning and everywhere is white with frost. Beano loves frosty mornings and so we had a double length walk at double quick speed, we galloped along the whole way round.

A little dog bed would be handy if your kitchen isn't carpeted - he could be in there when you're cooking or baking then. Best to wait and see because if it has carpet he'll be ok.
Now it's colder mine don't spend so much time on the various dog beds - But the floor is cold - They like the chair and sofas - Even a duvet - I am quite excited for you and Beano - Sounds Lovely - flis xx
Wait for your move and then you can see what works best for Beano. You two will be so happy in your own place!
Yes, better to wait and see before getting a bed. And, I wish you luck with the stairs! I have Yorkies. Have tried and tried with steps over the years. Different dogs and different steps. Now I have an 8 lb. dog who sleeps with me. He cannot begin to jump up on the bed. I tried the expanding foam steps. No way. Have wonderful foldable wooden steps with tread covers. Finally gave up and put them back the box. The little stinker waits for me to lift him to the bed.
I worry that he will hurt himself jumping down, as he often does during the night.
May you be more successful!
i have quite a wide poofer thing dont really know what to call it i have pushed that up to the side of the bed towards the end my dog uses it to get on and off the bed if Beano wont use say steps there are other options.Your walk with Beano sounds delightful x
I’ve wondered about steps for one of our dogs but think that she would be better with a ramp. Not sure if it is possible to buy such a thing. Both our two have beds that they use at night (I’ve even made them their own quilts as I’m a quilter!) but they don’t often use them. I’m sure that as long as you are around Beano is happy. Best wishes are being blown to you and him on a strong wind all the way from Northern Ireland x
