Who pays $100 for a dog bed?

This is the question that I asked myself standing in the isle at Petco looking for my 100 lb. puppy a new dog bed, so that he will stop fighting us all night like to get up into our bed. Corey and I looked at the not so large selection of dog beds that would even fit our dog, there were about 3.

One of which was on sale for 39.99, which is a HUGE deal if your dog requires the XXL dog bed. The problem with this budget friendly bed was that you could push down on it and it had absolutely NO padding. Great Danes are prone to bone disorders, so we knew that Midas was going to need something a little better. Plus he already has one thinner bed that has lead in search of a new one.

The other bed was an ok looking 59.99 dog. It was a little better than the first, however it was quite girly looking and an odd shape. This bed does not works because Midas is well, not a girl. And he likes to lay how he likes to lay and this bed would just not accommodate that.

The third and final bed cost the low low price of 99.99. As I initially read this price I was thinking HELL no. I am not spending $100 on a freaking bed for our dog  to sleep on. That is just crazy. Then I began going through my head thinking of all the things we could do with $100. However, this bed was like 30 times nicer than the other two beds, and it honestly looked like a Midas bed. I mean the dog has expensive taste. He likes the most expensive food, the most expensive bones, and he's just done right expensive himself. But this bed was probably the fluffiest bed in the entire store...


Corey and I then pulled all of these massive dog beds out into the isle and sampling them. We spent a good 20 minutes, in true Douthitt fashion, sampling each of these beds and talking about which one would work best for our little boy. I hope it is obvious that we love this dog as if it were our child. And of course, I am sure everyone could guess which bed won. That freaking $100 dog bed. So needless to say we trudged up to the front with that darn thing. All the way home I kept thinking  this was the most ridiculous purchase ever. However that all ended one we put that bed down besides ours that night, and he climbed right on it and slept the entire night without trying to get in our bed.... BEST PURCHASE EVER! Needless to say, I told y'all this entire story so that I could show you a picture of Midas living the good life on his new bed.

P.S. Ignore the little doggie bone stain, I ALREADY have to wash this dang bed.
