Jude didn't have a "dog bed". This was his bed and he let us use it too.

He loved posing. "C" told me yesterday that he loved 'showing'. I didn't know him then.
The groomer always told me that he loved the grooming table. He was so good that she would let him just stay lose in the shop while she was working on other dogs. If the table was 'down', he would jump up on it and sit.
I think that the lesson in all of this, is, that it is still, never be afraid to an adopt an older dog. While we have to let go sooner than we would have ever liked, be like a dog. Live in the moment and enjoy the time you have.
