Goodbye to a dear friend

Maja has grown quite a bit recently and she has totally outgrown her bed. When she sleeps in it, her head sticks out on one side and her hind legs on the other. Weird.. When she came here just a little less than three months ago, she could curl up in one corner of the bed.. But that bed was a trusted friend. The day we got Maja we also had tickets for a theater play. We picked her up in a neighbor town, drove for two hours, had exactly time enough to drop by a pet store to buy her some toys and a bed, and then we left her in the car - a new, strange car - for three hours. Shame on us.

But - she "adopted" her bed from the first second. That was where she curled up to feel safe, where she collected all her toys and goodies and where she - of course - slept at night. She love to come in to our bed in the morning, but she much prefers to sleep in her own bed at night :)

But, today it was packed down. We were almost a bit nervous to do it.. We went to a dogs exhibition to get a new one - thought it would be a fast deal, but we spent two hours searching, pondering and choosing. In the end we ended up with a black, furry, flat "mattress" bed.

And again - she took it as an of course that it was her property, fell in love with it at once, and is sleeping so softly on it now - fully stretched out, and both head and toes rest on the bed :)

Besides: a white dog on a black bed looks really nice :)
