It all began around winter of 2001 with Ripper, our 10 year old mini-Dachshund.
He was our beloved family pet; He drove us all nuts trying to keep him covered up in his bed with "HIS" blanket. There was no rest for anyone if "HIS" blanket got drug out of his bed.
It was so bad that when we would go away for a night or a weekend trip, we would have friends or family check on Ripper and "HIS" blanket.
At one point I used safety pins to secure the blanket to the top edge of his foam bed. More than once he would get his head stuck in a gap between the safety pins and a crazy Dachshund rodeo would be on!
Proving that necessity is the mother of invention, I invented the "BlankieBed".
Near the end of Rippers 15 year stay with usall he wanted was to stay cozy in his Blankiebed.
We will always miss Ripper, but think of all the pets (and their owners) that will be better off because of him.
