Murphy meets Rover
By Dr. Marty Becker
January 10, 2007
In the “just when you thought you’d seen it all category,” the Jan. 4 New York Times featured a piece about a new Murphy bed for dog and cat owners who are starved for space, but can’t stand the thought of their beloved pet having to, God-forbid, sleep on the floor!
Now when Rover is ready for some zzzzzz’s or the cat is ready for a nap, human-momma opens the pet’s bed (which resembles a Lilliputian armoire when closed) to reveal a four-inch-thick foam mattress that holds hounds up to 200 pounds. The mattress is 22 inches wide by 28 inches long, and comes with a washable, fitted cover. The bed — fit for a King Charles or a Queen (female cat) — is available at www.mattress.com or (800) 824-7777 and sells for $249.99.
