Received a new Ikea publication today in the mail called “live“. If I sew, I would so make a kitty like in the picture below for Donna. :P

But alas, the only sewing I do is patching up the holes Donna opened in her Comfort Cab bear and her Sakae sushi frog. Yes, corporations. That’s hopefully where all the corporate premiums will end up, torn and tattered by a happy dog. Muahahahahaha! Please continue to put them in goody bags. :P
But back to Ikea. I do like their toys. Donna’s preloved pink Ikea hippo (pictured below) has pretty durable stitching that withstood her tugging and is safe for babies with no parts that our silly dog could potentially swallow or choke on. Mr P’s colleague’s chihuahua plays only with Ikea toys. That chihuahua, I heard, turns its nose up on Daiso toys. My, my. Our Donna will run after her Daiso rope-toy any day.
But no other company has more impact on Donna than Ikea. Observe.
“Go to your bed Donna, go to your bed”
“Am I going to get a treat for going to my bed?”
“This is taking so long I am getting sleepy… zZzZzZzZz…”
Besides her toys in the $1.80 Ikea bin, we haven’t really gotten much new things for her. After the forbidden sofa, she prefers my old single quilt for her bed, but that is really hard to maintain the way this dog sheds!! That is, until we found an awesome solution, stuff it into the 65×65 Akerkulla cushion cover. And its such a pretty and contemporary design too compared to the other more expensive 65×65 cushions!
Donna has a second cushion bed stuffed with our existing Ikea 65×65 pillow, but this is puffier than the quilt and she seems less comfortable on it, spends less time there.
Eventually when I am gainfully employed, we will get her a nice big bed that she can spread out on comfortably.
