Hi Ruth,

I'll tell you who loved it.. My doggie, Priscilla, before she died.  Sounds
silly, but I felt so bad for her as she was aging, full of arthritis, etc.  So
I covered that mattress with a plastic cover, etc. and let her sleep on it. She
couldn't jump up on the bed any longer. It took up a bit of room on the floor,
but we figured poor old girl deserved some relief.

It surely does (grin).  I remember the first time Priscilla or Midnight (our
first two black labs) ate a hole in the top of the mattress.. We'd had it for
maybe month.  Dang dogs just could resist seeing what was under that nice
pillowtop covering it had (laugh) so I had to patch it.. Well, I can laugh now,
but back then I was pretty upset with them :)

But an air mattress does not survive dogs ... I think we're on number 4 of
those.  We keep an air mattress around (or TRY to) for when the kids sleep
over, or for when we have guests :)

Take care,
Janis
