letters to the pets?

Posted on December 18th, 2009 by admin in nascar bedding | 7 Comments »

Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The
Other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print
in
the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming
your
food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the
slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating
me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I
fall
faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about
this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your
comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
It
is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to
the
fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out
and
having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing
but
sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some
miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw
under
the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same
door I
entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years-canine or
feline
attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s butt.
I
cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our
front door:

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don’t.

2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the
furniture.
(That’s why they call it "fur"niture.)

3. I like my pets a lot better than most people.

4. To you, it’s an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter
who
is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.

Dogs and cats are better than kids .. they eat less, don’t ask for
money
all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never
drive
your car, don’t hangout with drug-using friends, don’t smoke or drink,
don’t worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don’t wear your
clothes, and don’t need a gazillion dollars for college – and if they
get
pregnant, you can sell the children.

You’re the best. (from a cat-rescuer. we have 4 that live here)

I need some accent pillows for my daybed!

Posted on December 18th, 2009 by admin in daybed bedding | 1 Comment »

I have this bedding for a twin-sized daybed:

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=/qid=/ref=br_1_br_1_20/601-2783593-8960125?ie=UTF8&node=13160471&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=13160471&rank=pmrank&asin=B000O5D3Z0&rh=&page=1

The only pillows I have on my bed is:

- 1 main sham the print of the bedding
- 1 accent sham the print of the sheets
- A name pillow

All of these are standard sizes but it makes my bed look unfinished and ugly. So if you could provide some links for some accent pillows, that’d be awesome. Thanks!

Go to overstock.com they offer huge selections and very reasonable prices……. it really is a great site where you can get some super bargains.

When did you move your LO to a toddler or regular size bed?

Posted on December 18th, 2009 by admin in toddler bedding | 5 Comments »

With our first he went to a toddler bed when he was almost 3 years old. We moved in to a new house and decided -new house, new bed-

Our LO is 18 months old and tonight was VERY close to jumping ship out of his crib. I never had this problem with our first.

I am up for tips and suggestions. He has a 4 step convertible crib right now.

My kids are both top of the charts for height. At 15 months, my son was too tall for his crib. We took out his mattress and put it directly on the floor. We felt a little badly about it, but he just wasn’t big enough for a toddler bed and may have hurt himself if he fell out.

Since then, we have found out that tons of parents do this before transitioning to a toddler bed.

Our son absolutely loved it as we had some safe toys and books, plus his cup of water. He would wait until we left the room, hop out of bed and read himself to a drowsy stage before climbing into his bed and falling asleep.

What’s the best sports bed mattress out there?

Posted on December 18th, 2009 by admin in sports bedding | 1 Comment »

Hi,

I’m looking to buy a new (single) mattress for my bed. I’m big into sport, and need a matress that will give me a good night’s sleep while my body recovers from training.

What mattress manufacturer would you recommend?

Thanks, Paul

I’ve been checking up on the Mammoth Elite Sports Mattress. It’s a bit expensive, and it looks as if it only comes in a double size…. NEED ADVICE … :>(

— Mammoth Elite is the best I know of.

Silly question about daybeds and trundle beds…?

Posted on December 15th, 2009 by admin in daybed bedding | 4 Comments »

Does anyone know if you can use a bedskirt on a daybed if you don’t have the trundle bed? I ordered a daybed online and don’t think it will look right without a bed skirt…and can’t really afford a trundle and second mattress…

Yeah you can….I used to because I didn’t think it looked right without one either.

I am looking for a Minnie Mouse toddler bedding set.?

Posted on December 15th, 2009 by admin in toddler bedding | 4 Comments »

I would prefer the original red and white colors over the pink and white, but either is fine. Its so hard to find it for a crib or toddler bed. All the ones I see are for full or twin beds.

I did not write this! I appreciate your comments, but I didn’t write this. It was forwarded to me, after being forwarded numerous times before me…I have no idea who wrote it.

impressive. nice work.

Can someone help me understand different types of bedding?

Posted on December 13th, 2009 by admin in daybed bedding | 1 Comment »

What’s the difference between:

comforters
bedspreads
down and down alternative comforters
duvet covers
daybed covers

comforters – Does not touch the floor and is normally sold or used with a dustruffle.

bedspreads – Touch the floor and have extra length to cover the pillows

down and down alternative comforters – Down Wool and Cotton as opposed to poly fill are warmer and more expensive.

duvet covers – Cover a comforter when you want a new look or to protect the comforter from damage it is easier to wash a duvet cover rather then the entire comforter.

daybed covers – Are for twin beds that double as sofas..typically the bed is longways on a wall and these covers do not have a wall side of material but 2 full sides and a front.. http://www.thespecialtyrentals.com/images/daybed__250_fwps.jpg

Can a King Bed fit in a California King Frame?

Posted on December 13th, 2009 by admin in king bedding | 4 Comments »

We currently have a California King bed. We are getting a king bed from some friends but it is only the mattress and the box springs (no frame). I am trying to find out if you can fit a king bed into a California King frame.

no, not usually unless you have an adjustable bed frame…

your king mattress will be 4 inches to wide and 4 inches to short for your California King bed frame

Standard King: Overall dimensions: 76" wide x 80" long

California King: Overall dimensions: 72" wide x 84" long
