On an average day my husband and I have three pugs running around in our household; our two and a foster. I purchased this bed specifically for our nine year old rescue who has a difficult time getting around because of her severe luxating patellas. Just as I thought, having a bolster like shape allows her to easily get in and out of her bed. Little did we know, the new bed would take presedence over our laps. I guess this means we're going to get one for each room. Thanks for making such a great bed and we appreciate them being eco friendly too!
