One is in baby pink and one is in baby blue. Just in case you have a Fido and a Fifi! Our Lords & Labrador bedding is tailored to your pet’s comfort, but sometimes that alone isn’t enough. Some things are just irresistibly chewable. If this is the case with your pooch, investing in one of our indestructible dog beds is a great option. Aromatic wood chips can absorb some stinky dog odor but may create a big mess if your pet decides to chew up his new bed. You will also need a fabric strong enough to encase the chips, so that none of them poke through and make it uncomfortable for your dog to use the bed.

But some dogs have a little trouble jumping into them. Silva Filho’s recycled masterpieces proved so popular, a niche market of eco-conscious pet owners sprang up as well. Amarildo Silva Filho, Caminhas Pets/ Facebook A simple wooden crate, recycled or available at any craft store, also makes a perfect pint-sized nest. Carefully pry the boards from one of the long sides off of the crate and sand the rough edges. Paint the crate and personalize it with your dog's name or a fun design, and line it with a soft folded blanket or pillow. HGTV Handmade also recommends screwing furniture gliders onto the bottom corners to protect your floors. Just like anything you give to your dog, make sure the paint, decorations, and lining are non-toxic to pets and not easily chewed or ingested.

Once it’s dry, set the tire up on its edge and lightly spray the tire with spray paint, holding the can about 8 inches away from the tire. Because I couldn’t paint all sides of the tire at once, I did four “painting sessions” for this tire. I did one coat on the top half of the tire, then, once the paint had dried, I rotated the tire and painted the “bottom” half. Then after the first coat was dry, I did a second coat on the top half of the tire, then rotated again to do a second coat on the bottom half. With this project, you’ll make a large pillowcase for a comfy, canine-friendly mattress. Instead of investing in expensive craft foam, this artsy pet parent bought one twin extra-large memory foam mattress topper and folded it in half. From what Amarildo’s accomplished so far, it’s clear he loves what he does quite a lot—and that’s great news for every one of the animals he’s helped.
