Well, technically, this is Leo’s third bed (and hopefully his last for a while). His first bed lasted less than a week, and his second bed lasted less than 10 minutes (talk about a waste of money). We got Leo his first bed when he was about 3 months old. He had a couple accidents on his first bed, which wasn’t a huge deal, but then he chewed right through it. Luckily, we caught him before he could totally destroy it and make a huge mess. There was no fixing it though, so we took the loss and threw it away.
Leo – 1, Bed – 0
A few months later, when
I was sure he wouldn’t pee on it or chew it up, we got him another bed. This bed
wasn’t bolstered so I figured it wouldn’t be construed as a chew toy. Sadly, I couldn’t
have been more wrong. Leo put a hole in that bed within minutes of us setting
it on the ground. Minutes. We tried to salvage it by duct taping the holes so
Leo wouldn’t eat the insides, but that didn’t work either. So we had to
begrudgingly throw it out. He didn’t pee on it though. So, that’s a plus.
Leo – 2, Bed – 0
After two failed attempts at providing Leo a bed (and
essentially lighting money on fire), we swore off beds for a while. But now that we’ve been trusting Leo to be
free in the house (he hasn’t been crated at all in about 3 weeks – woo!), we’ve
decided he can be trusted to not destroy a bed.
So far, so good while at the office (caught him cuddling
with his toy), but we’ll see how he does with a bed at home. Fingers crossed
for his comfort and my wallet’s sake!
