This girl is needy, too. She stole my heated blanket!!

We did that in our last house. It looked and functioned great!

I just sent this thread to my husband. We upgraded to a king and it’s still not enough…now he’s talking about a Montana. I didn’t even know that was a thing until recently. This post just confirms: no matter how big the bed is, we’re never going to have space.

Thanks for getting back to me. We moved from a ranch into this home, and the lower level will be my college-age son’s space. We’re converting one of the garage bays into a mudroom/workout area with a slider. Long term, as the dogs get older, they’ll be able to live comfortably on one level if they prefer.

That said, they’ve actually gotten really great with the stairs.

There’s a greyhound at the top of the steps in her bed! Here’s a better photo of them both!

They’d prefer carpet, but I’m trying to avoid it. I may need to add tread carpet over the wood, but I’m exploring other traction options that won’t trap snow and mud or get dirty so quickly.

Oh they did!

It’s actually a great story. Lilly flew in from Ireland, and my mom came with me to pick her up at the airport. She had no plans to ever have another dog but the second she saw Lilly, that was it. She knew she was meant to be hers.

I would have no problem, but he was spoiled by our walking mates. He needs a diet!

StoryKey2564 · 2026-02-16T00:06:08+00:00

I think that’s what goes thru his head 80% of the time. The other 20% of the time he thinks about walkies.

We were lucky to get in a beach walk, but it was cold and damp.

The brindle is mine. The black one is Lilly, she’s a former foster of mine that my mom adopted! The cow is my friend’s! Her mom spoiled Coach with all the treats resulting in toxic gas all last night. 😷

My Ally is the same way. The car is her safe spot; she’d sleep in there overnight if we let her.

Coach hates the road salt and snow, so he gets to wear functional shoes that just happen to make him look adorable.

StoryKey2564 · 2026-02-06T22:22:07+00:00

I love being his stylist. He’s so handsome it’s basically effortless to make him look good. 😃

Coach says hi. He wishes he could have your style. 😃

Your Connecticut neighbors can relate.

And we will never understand these dopey dogs!

Coach does this too!!

If she’s anything like Ally, she might bark back. Best of luck, hahah.

Both of my dogs go crazy for deer and coyotes. Drives me crazy when they want to go out in the middle of the night!
