I bought 4 pillows like the one above from IKEA when I was in San Diego. They helped to make my temporary lodgings a home. When I returned home in July, I used one of them on the den sofa as it fit in beautifully with the red pillows already on the couch.
Scout loved it. She very quickly claimed it as her own. We have come to the point where Don automatically arranges the pillow for her lounging pleasure as we sit down every evening. She is a nester. Plus, she snores and the pillow helps keep her head propped up. I found one of the other pillows recently and it occurred to me that Scout might like one on her dog bed (in our bedroom.)
She already had this flowery bed. Now we have added more flowers for Pretty Miss Scout. The first night of the new arrangement Scout came to bed after I was already asleep. (She and Riley stay up late with their Dad.) It was dark in the room. But I snuck a peak in her direction early that morning and sure enough, she had found the pillow and was happily sleeping with her head right on it.
I think she likes it.
A girl needs her beauty rest.
I’ve mentioned this before, but for those of you who are newer readers of this blog, Riley will have nothing to do with a dog bed. We’ve tried and tried. He has bad hips and arthritis and my aim is to make him as comfortable as possible. So a dog bed seems like the perfect thing for him, doesn’t it? Nope. He doesn’t like them. Riley’s preferred surface is the floor – right next to my side of the bed. Riley really is all boy and Scout is a girly-girl. There’s room for both here at MHC.
Oh, how sweet is this!! Hannah also had to have a pillow to rest her little head on. And now Kodak has taking a liking to it too! Spoiled doggies we have!
((Hugs))
I love how spoiled she is!!! what a pretty dog.
Princess Scout IS a girly girl, and she is absolutely gorgeous!!! I just think she’s precious.
Hugs ♥ Teresa
Your dog looks so adorable on her flowery bed. Wish I had a dog.
This is too precious!! Love it!

Soutie is so sweet, what a girl!
Your dog looks so sweet and beautiful, and comfy too!
Next visit to see the kids in Calif. or to Washington to visit granddaughter and I’m going to Ikea, honey.

Oh Claudia…your fur babies are so lucky to have you. Miss Scout looks so content on her comfy pillow, she is absolutely gorgeous!
Love and hugs,
Karyn
Oh, how we love our pets! Mine sleep in the bed with me. But then I have dog beds for them too. Right under this computer. Your baby looks so comfy. What a great mom you are!
Brenda
What a wonderfully sweet doggie. She’s just beautiful on her pretty pillow. These are the sweetest pictures..
I love that Scout loves her pillows! My Casey ( the big one) will only sleep across the end of my bed. She’ll use the floor too but MY bed is the spot. Molly (the little one) now has 3 beds and uses the couch and any available chair or stool too! She loves to have a spot and is also a nester!! She has blankets in each of her beds to nest in!
Love that she posed for the post!!
Hugs, Lisa

Just the cutest photos of your sweet Scout, Claudia. Thanks for the photos to go with your story. I love it! You know I’m a dog person and this just made me smile.
Hugs,
Donna
We have our fair share of doggie beds! She is just adorable!
Oh my gosh, how sweet, Claudia. It looks like a little human bed with the pillow at one end. I remember the day I spotted the dog bed on your blog and said, “that’s the exact same dog bed we have!” Yes, we do love our cottage look!
Well, the princess looks just precious sleeping on her bed!
Isn’t that funny about Riley. You would certainly think he would prefer a comfy, soft surface. But I guess he has his reasons for preferring the floor. Don’t you wish they could talk sometimes?
Donna
I think she must know just how pretty she looks on that pillow!
Just precious Claudia…that pillow looks like it was made for her!
have a great weekend:)
paula
Oh is she ever beautiful Claudia!! Such a sweetie laying there!! I love both your doggies, I wish I could hug them!

Hi Claudia,
That is one BEAUTIFUL doggie. What a sweetheart.
The bed and pillow combo fit her perfectly.

p.s. have a great weekend.
She looks so comfy and such a beautiful Princess
Such charming dog beds. Blessings!
Gwen
So, so sweet! :) Beautiful pillows, and yes, a girl does need her beauty rest!!!

It is a dog’s life at you house! We all sure love our animals and will do almost anything for them. That is the way it should be since they give us so much love. That beautiful bed is so great. I would love to take a nap on it!
Hello Claudia,
Well….Miss Scout knows comfort when she feels it! And beauty is an important factor too. :0) If I put down a frumpy tuffet for Miss Morgan she would stare me down til I put back the pretty one! hehe Furbabies…such lovely creatures, they are. And I guess that hard floor is doing more for the arthritis than we know!
Thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment on my Queen Dressed for the Opera collage..I’ve had such fun creating it.
Have a lovely day,
Stephanie
What beautiful coloring Scout has and is a very lucky dog. Maybe I need to get one of those pillows for Bobby G. if it will stop the snoring. :) Happy New Year Claudie! xo Lynn
Awww, just look at that sweet little face! Every fur baby needs a swank bed. Mine has her own little antique wrought iron bed, although Scout’s bedding is a bit more luxe. ;-)
What *would* we do without our lil’ babies in fur coats?
Have a great weekend!
Anne
They are such beautiful babies, Claudia! Love them both, and Scout’s bed is beautiful. The pillow, too!
XO,
Sheila :-)

So sweet! I wish that Hagrid would sleep on a dog bed. I bought him a dog bed, however he… well, let’s just say, you might as well have called the bed “his girlfriend”. Oh well.
I ended up selling “the girlfriend” at my garage sale!
Hugs,
Jill
oh my GOSH! She is so adorable with her little feet tucked in tight…head on pillow……I never ONCE thought to put a pillow on the dog bed….but the do love to have their heads elevated a little (like the arm of the couch or chair)
Would Riley sleep on your side of the bed on a folded towel or blanket? Maybe you can start him off gradually….
In my opinion she is receiving just the right amount of honor and adulation from her human subjects☺
Hi Claudia, I just found this post.oh what a beautiful girly girl Scout is. and I love the bed, so pretty! Our dogs will all use the dog bed we have on occassion, they prefer the REAL bed or the floor..no place in particular for any of them, its like musical beds at night. thanks for sharing!
Barb
What a sweetie! My Bonnie loves to get comfy too and has lately been known to rest her head on my lap while watching TV. Hmm…maybe a pillow is in order? But no, I wouldn’t give up my snuggling for anything! Love those dogs!
