    Luuuuuccccyyyyyyy! Such a sweet dog. She looks like she has a little border collie in her make up based on the mottled fur on her chest. Am I remotely close? Love how the bed turned out. Very modern - love the look.

      Thanks so much! She is super sweet. We think she’s got some pointer but she’s definitely not full blooded. Whatever she is, I wish I had ten just like her. Best dog we’ve ever had 🙌

    I recently made a dog bed in between more “serious” builds, and it was so fun to not worry about perfection. My pup loves it and it came out really nice in a relaxed build. Love your Lu-Bed.

      same here..a bed on stilts basically. its as high as my bed. below i made a bed for the short legged dog. so bunk beds. i painted it to make it pretty but it was not a pretty build..but very functional. it would hold my weight.

    I love this project! I avoid even using dog beds throughout the house because they don't look like nice furniture pieces and my dog would rather be on the couch than on the floor. But you can really match decor and I think my dog might actually appreciate an elevated bed. Thanks for this project!

    I built a dog bed on legs so the smaller dog could sleep below..like bunk beds. It was same height as my bed. i also built stairs to get up to it. It wasn't pretty but it sure worked. I added some heavy duty foam crate cushion and covered with a blanket. added a pillow and blanket. She was happy. I really need to learn the settings on a pocket jig.

It’s tough watching them start to age 😢 but maybe you’re right…this may help her ease out of her bed rather than pulling herself up. Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
