During Sadie’s first dog-friendly hotel trip, she discovered an exciting new piece of furniture: a doggy nightstand. I tried to explain to Sadie that it was just a regular nightstand, like most people have next to their beds, but she insisted that this one was made especially for dogs. She then proved her point by jumping into the open space in the middle of the nightstand and lying down. Since Sadie showed no signs of wanting to leave her new little cubby, I took one of her beds and placed it inside so she could be more comfortable. Sadie happily took a nap in her self-proclaimed doggy nightstand while I did boring human things.
When Sadie finished her nap and wanted to get down, she began to reconsider her idea of claiming the nightstand. It was nice to be in the cubby, but it was too scary to get out. The space was too short for Sadie to stand up and too slippery for her to feel comfortable jumping, so Sadie cried until I came running to rescue her from the nightstand. For the rest of the trip Sadie would occasionally ask me to put her into the nightstand, but she would only sniff around for a moment and then ask me take her back out again. In the end I was glad she didn’t get too attached to the nightstand, because for a while there I thought Sadie would love it so much I’d be buying her a new piece of furniture; and I don’t think we have room for a doggy nightstand in my house.

At first glance it looks like such a great idea, but a little too tight for comfort?

We would call that the perfect spot for cats. We dogs are way too big, but for small dogs I guess it would work nicely.

I sense a new product in the making. Sadie has already told you how to improve the one in the hotel!

Not to much room to spread out in there huh?
Hi Y’all!
Just one dog’s idea, build one with the drawer and the cubby reversed. (drawer on top) Maybe a smaller drawer so the cubby could be taller, but not too tall! What do you think, Sadie? Oops, your person said there wasn’t room for one at your home. 🙁
Y’all come by now,

Looks to me like someone may have discovered an alternative for pet parents everywhere. You go Sadie!
What a cutie-patootie! That nightstand looks like it was the perfect size for her 🙂
