Rusty's "bed" that I bought at Petco for $60 is his mattress in the car; he much prefers MY bed (but he's not allowed in my room anymore, since he won't budge for walk time or playing in his fenced yard).
So, Rusty's Domain is the couch in the living room (covered by a sure-fit pet cover) and he can see 'all the action' (and we can see him!). Oftentimes, I find him laying his head on one of the pillows, at each end.
And we've only had him for a month!! Yes, he's a spoiled furbaby, indeed!
