Dog-Tired...

Everyone needs their own space.  Their own, comfortable, little slice of heaven, solely for themselves. It's not just your family members that benefit from their own personal safe haven, but so will your dogs.

Luckily for you, your dog does not take up a whole lot of space and will not require his own room.  Harry Potter may not have cared for his cupbard under the stairs, but your loyal companion would be pleased with his new location.  There are several places in your home, that with the right carpenter or DIY skills, could easily transform into your fur baby's dream room.

Extra space under the stairs provides the perfect place for your companions room.  It is a space that would otherwise go unused, and this is a perfect way to utilize the space for it's full potential.

If your faithful friend is extra small, the space needed is easy to remedy.  Try this idea out, by providing your puppy to sleep in a hollowed out nightstand.  This allows your puppy to be close, but not have a kennel or bed in the way.  

There is always the possibility of creating a space by adding some small changes to an existing piece of furniture.  By adding a new front to the bottom of these bookshelves, this person created matching beds for their dogs.  The dogs are close together, but still have their own space.

If your dog is like mine, your bed is the only logical place for him or her to sleep.  This idea allows your dog to be right next to you, still close enough to pet and cuddle, but does not take up any of your needed sleep area.

But then again, dogs aren't the hardest animals to please.  They would sleep just about anywhere. :)
