Our 50-pound mutt dog Fernie watched aloofly as I unboxed her new doggie throne in the backyard. The Lazy Bear raises the dog-bed bar with its elevated camp-chair design that folds up into a travel bag for transport. Once it was set up in the shade with a perfect view of her favorite squirrel travel routes, I patted the padded, bowl-shaped bed that sits about a foot off the ground on steel frame supports.
“Bed,” I instructed, and she leapt right in and seemed to approve of her new perch. The water-resistant fabric and removable cushion will make keeping it clean a lot easier, especially if she has finally learned to avoid marauding camp skunks. MSRP: $88. Kumaoutdoorgear.com (Derrick Knowles)
