The Brown Dogs' blankets all come from a lovely little place called the thrift store. This is because they will inevitably be destroyed no matter what the cost, so keeping those costs low is ideal. We also try to keep fluff to a minimum as a blanket filled with fluff is at high-risk of being chomped up, so in order to make their crates comfy and cozy, the blankets are layered on.
Anyway, I don't know what it is, but there is something that I really enjoy about neatly arranging the clean dog blankets back into the dog crates. Before long (read: 5-10 minutes), they will be strewn everywhere as a result of excessive snuffling (Probert and Wrigley) or simply picking them up and shaking them (Maizy), but until that happens, all of the blankies are neat and tidy and fluffed and clean. It's a good feeling!
(The dogs in this post all look unhappy because I am making them sit nicely for pictures rather than letting them immediately go to town investigating the "fresh from the dryer" smells that have traveled back from the basement with their clean blankets.)

guess what...my mom likes any kind of clean blankets..moms are wierd that way. She washes my blankets alot...and ever time is amazed at teh amount of hair in the dryer trap....your houses look very nice with nice tiny blankets...
I use towels. It is, indeed, nice to have them all neat and tidy in their respectives crates. What drives me crazy is that they ALL get dragged out all over the house where I have to gather them up every night and put them back. Next day...repeat.
Susan, My dogs have not yet figured out that they can bring their blankies out with them. I hope they do not read your comment! Though last night Wrigley made his blankets into a giant mound and then flopped himself on top of it like a walrus. :) You can kind of see in that picture that Probert currently has one towel and Wrigley also has a towel that has been with him since the day of his rescue (we used it for him to lay on for the long car ride home). I'll use whatever I can get my hands on!
Hi Brown Dog Mom,
My Mama loves washing our blankets too! Of course, she always decides to wash them just as they start to get nice & dog-stinky the way WE like them ...
C-ya,
Murphy Dogg
Having a mom who loves you certainly has its highs and lows, doesn't it, Murphy!? :)
