Hank's New Bed

     Well if you have been reading my blog you probably already know that we have a 90 pound rhodesian ridgeback named Hank. Danson decided a couple of years ago that he HAD to have one of these dogs. He researched them daily. They are very hard to come by so it took him several months to find one. That didn't bother me because we also have a weenie dog named Heidi who is my baby. Heidi started out as Danson's parent's dog, but there is no doubt that she considers herself my dog now. When Danson started talking about this HUGE dog he wanted, my first reaction was... that dog is going to be so mean to Heidi and it might even hurt her. Wrong!! Heidi rules the roost. Hank will bow down to Heidi in a second. As a matter of fact, Heidi is the one who constantly gets in trouble for being mean to Hank. When I look back I can't believe that there was a time when Hank wasn't around. I love him so much and I am so glad that his Daddy decided to get him.
     All that being said, Danson and I encountered a problem when we got married. Up until this point Hank slept in the bed with Danson every single night. Danson had one side and Hank had the other. When we got married we realized that two humans and a 90 lb dog were not going to fit in a queen size bed. Unfortunately, Hank is the one who got kicked out. :-) He was moved to his bed right beside ours but that was not good enough for him. We would scold him to get into his bed and he would stay until we were fast asleep. Then I would find myself being woken up five times a night by a cold nose on my leg. I would look over, and Hank's body would be beside the bed and his head would be under the covers. I finally decided that he needed a nicer bed. I found this bed online and it had great reviews. Needless to say, Hank loves it! From the moment it was taken out of the box he has hardly even gotten out of it. We are all sleeping very well now!!
