Nothing beats sleeping in the outback… except when a big, heavy dog is squishing you off your bed! Luckily, Conny and I have found the perfect solution to Aero’s reluctance about sleeping on her own bed while we’re backpacking camping. It’s the Adventure Dog Dream Bed found at REI that will let her feel like she’s still on our comfy bed but will give us all the room we need to enjoy sweet outdoor dreams! This wonderful bed has an inflatable insert that gives it a truly people-bed feel. It really is comfortable. I know because I tried it. I think this would be a terrific bed to have in the car on long trips, too. It would be easy to bring into a hotel room and would make Aero less stressed at being in a strange place. Having such a comfortable and comforting bed would certainly put her at ease. Another fabulous thing about this bed is that it rolls up quite small so that while Aero can carry, in her Ruff Wear (check out my December 2nd blog) Approach Pack dog food, water and treats, she can also carry her bed on her pack. Talk about being an easy tent hiking companion. Conny and I were even thinking that we maybe could get a couple of these Adventure Dog Dream Beds for ourselves to include in our own hiking camping gear. They’re so light and compact they could be used to add comfort to our sleeping arrangements. Hmm… worth a thought. Anyway, if you want to have a look you can find the REI Adventure Dream Bed (and the Ruff wear Approach Pack at REI. Happy camping and sleeping in the great outdoors!
