Have you ever visited someone and they tell you don't worry about getting a hotel, we have a place for you to sleep, and then you get there, and it's like the weirdest thing to sleep on?
Do you prefer our garage Bean Bed or the Human Sized Dog Bed?
@RickiTarr dog bed would be better for your back
@RickiTarr
If I got to sleep with the dog I’d probably not complain.
I have questions for which I do not want answers.
@MercG Ah, wisdom.
I'm a beanbagger, I guess.
The dog bed (but with blankets).
@That_Damn_Frank @RickiTarr I just want the dog to snuggle with (though mine would wake me up constantly with sudden and energetic scratch sessions)
@RickiTarr beanbag all the way!
@RickiTarr I need one significantly larger to fit my greyhound.
Human-sized dog bed, with or without the dog.
That huge beanbag is just begging to be turned into a snow storm.
@RickiTarr So, I'd absolutely sleep on both. Just sayin'.
@RickiTarr I saw some of the dog beds for sale at London Drugs a couple weeks ago. So, yeah, real thing… Hadn’t thought I’d have a use for one, but maybe I’ll go back and pick one up in case I have guests.
@KerryMitchell @RickiTarr I'm sure my youngest daughter would sleep in that (with the dog and the cats)
@KerryMitchell @RickiTarr
Yeah, but you just need a hint of stail urine smell on it.
@KerryMitchell @RickiTarr I’m aware of a large subset of fedi that NEED to know this exists, but on reflection they probably already do. You know you’re on the fediverse when “human sized dog bed” scrolls by and you don’t bat an eye.
@RickiTarr humans have definitely lost their way ...
@RickiTarr
I like the air bed. It's for people who want to sleep on the floor, but not right away.
@RickiTarr
Dog beds tend to get crowded because they are so comfy.
@mizblueprint @RickiTarr ok that made me lol
@mizblueprint @RickiTarr That's such a Mitch Hedberg style joke
@RickiTarr We got our dog a giant (for her) dog bed and this is how she sleeps on it. Oh Lucy.
as someone with a back and some amount of years what is comfortable for one might be uncomfortable for another.
@RickiTarr Dog bed. Dogs know what's what about beds.
@RickiTarr the human sized dog bed is *almost* big enough for my two chihuahuas to to sleep on together without getting territorial.
@RickiTarr my back hurts looking at them both.
@RickiTarr@beige.party I gotta admit, that giant dog bed looks like it could be comfy as temporary sleep-space, given blankets or a comforter.
I'm not so sure about where to store one or several out of the way, though.
@RickiTarr that's not a dog, that's a small man in a dog suit, it's all kink.
@Lazarou @RickiTarr That small man is three even smaller dogs in a men’s small trench coat.
@RickiTarr
Dog bed, absulutely. With my cats.
@RickiTarr both of these look super comfy, LOL. Have a great weekend Ricki!
I hand overnight guests an electric pump and an air bed in a box.......
I'd absolutely sleep on either of those - but I do have a perfectly boring folding murphy bed for when I have guests.
@RickiTarr I have slept on a garage bean bed (not beans, but shredded foam) for a few years now. It's a pain in the ass to make every morning because you have to literally flip it over 1/ 4 turn, and slam it on the floor to get it to fluff up. It also goes lopsided sometimes
@RickiTarr Beggars can’t be choosers.
@RickiTarr We have the Voltron of unfolding footrests or the futon of being so easily moved that I could never justify getting rid of it.
@RickiTarr my back would hate bean bed but its a NEST! :flops onto it, back be damned:
Can i just pick the dog and leave?
It happened to me. A co-worker insisted I stay with him when I was working too far away to safely get home late at night. They put me in their child's room on a short twin bed and I'm a tall person.
They said they were putting little Billy on the living room couch because, "he's a big boy now". The couch would have been better for me. LOL
I sneaked out and took a nap in the truck.
@RickiTarr The beanbag. In the morning I'd cut the underneath so it would start spilling its stuffing at every use and never interact with them, their family or friends ever again. It was also be a 1-star Trip Advisor review.
@RickiTarr I once had to sleep on a futon that was so old it was like concrete and the hard mattress thing had conformed to the shape of the wooden slats underneath. So a kind of wavy surface.
I don't remember sleeping badly though. Must have slept well.
@RickiTarr I kinda fear we have done this... but we are specific with what we have to offer:
"Futon in Husband's Office with fresh linens, Blow-Up Queen Bed with fresh linens in My office, comfy living room couch that will probably be shared with small dog, or our bed in the primary with-attached-bathroom suite with fresh linens (also likely to be shared with small dog).
I feel like friends/family, reading this energy, give me the same warnings/options/details.
@RickiTarr I have two huskies. No one is going to want to sleep on the dog bed. Or any bed, knowing the amount of fur that is probably around. Even after cleaning.
@ang6666 @RickiTarr
Our mantra is, "Sweep before vacuum. Amen."
@RickiTarr Yes but do they come with the dog and/or kids???
Depends on the type of beans vs type of dog. Navy beans vs. Chihuahua? Bean bag. Baked beans vs. Golden retriever? Dog bed.
@RickiTarr I’m team bean bag all day!
