Has solved our issue!
We have 3 dachshunds. I know, I know. . . you're wondering why I have purchased a Sherman tank of a bed for a dachshund but we have gone through 3 beds at about $75 each and if this fixed the problem then we would save money in the long run. He has made a mighty effort to destroy this bed but he has been, to date, unsuccessful. We have found the bed in many different parts of the house upon our return so we know he has dragged it and shaken it and made attempts to kill it; but it still stands, whole and undefeated. As such, this is worth every bit of these 5 stars! Well done!
