obsession with pets is at an all time high

[summer_gphib]

Forrest (my basset hound) has his own bedroom that is set up just for him. It has a little dresser I painted to hold all of his stuff. It's done in a disney and dogs theme, complete with a "Fox and the Hound" poster, Mickey Mouse border, a shelf for his leashes.... and a HUGE toy basket.

That's overboard, but I actually did it, so there would be no place for the inlaws to visit. I have a small house on the beach and seven days with them in such close quarters made me nuts. So now they have to get a hotel! Also we don't have kids so why not? And how can you resist this face?



But here are some pictures of Forrest's Room.

My dogs also have their own room. It has a low futon from when the boyfriend was in undergrad and their crates. They hang in there when they are home alone or we have non-canine-compatible guests over.

I don't like kids and don't want kids, so why not use a fraction of what a kid costs to treat my pup to the finer things that a dog would enjoy.

That is brilliant! Right now our guestroom is my dog Sophie's room when we do not have guests. I think my inlaws would figure it out though, if I took out the queen-size guest bed for absolutely no reason. I'm not even sure that would stop them, either. They don't sleep in the same bed for whatever reason (and won't change just because they're away from home) and last time Grandma came along too. Between the three of them, there wasn't a single room in the house unoccupied (Mom on couch in open living room/dining room/kitchen, Grandma in guest room, Dad on blow up mattress in the hobby/office room). If they didn't get a hotel then, I'm pretty sure they won't until we tell them they have to get one. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to give them a grandkid before I can ask them to stay in a hotel without them arguing about it.

Sorry about the inlaw-hyjack. I probably should just start a new thread altogether to bitch about them. My point is: I'm soooo jealous of both your set-up for your dog and the freedom you have from your inlaws.

Here is my dog's picture. She is a Pekingese, but we have her groomed short to keep our house from becoming a haven for her hair clumps.

OMG Summer...I want to reach through the computer screen and pet your dog...his ears look SO soft!

My cousin's weimeraner had his own space and custom bed in her room and once she gets married, I have no doubt he'll be getting his own bedroom.
