Many dachshund fans know our doxies love to burrow. Whether it is under blankets, freshly dried laundry or a pile of pillows our pups love to dig and bury themselves. I’m a huge admirer of the snuggle beds, and I have assembled a collection over the years. If you have ever shopped for dog beds, you know they are as varied as snowflakes and come in an assortment of colors, fabrics and prices. Our friends at Dog Inspired Rag Quilts on Facebook are offering custom homemade dog beds. These affordable lightweight snuggle dog beds are perfect all year round and are great for the crate, the car and home. I especially like them for traveling. They’re also the perfect size for doxie pairs to share.

The Tennessee woman responsible generally works with dachshund inspired fabrics, but happily accepts requests on the size and fabric. She designs to please. She also makes quilts. Rufus and Emily approve. Check them out for yourself, and tell them we said hi.
