This is a tweaked re-post from two years ago…

If you’re going to have dogs, you’ve GOT to have polar fleece.  We use 5 – 6 yard lengths of it folded up for dog beds and as “throws” to cover our upholstered furniture when it’s just us at home and the dogs have free run of the house.  The dogs don’t rip it apart as they occasionally have done with other bedding.  It launders easily, is inexpensive, doesn’t fray and comes in an unbelievable array of colors and patterns.  Finley is modeling two different fleeces (above) on the sectional sofa and we’re using a lot of it out in the barn with the puppies and in the big dogs’ kennel spaces.  Whoever invented this faux-fabric was brilliant.

Tip: If you go to stores like Michaels or Jo-ann Fabrics, make sure to Google their coupons before you get to the check-out. I’ve never purchased polar fleece full price. There is always a 40 – 60% of coupon you can get on your phone on one of your items.

(Yes, that’s our newest hedgehog polar fleece! Biff came home with three huge pieces of it before this litter arrived.)
