Dog Bed | Repurposed Bed Pillows

I admittedly have an obsession with our puppies and think they should be comfortable at all times.  So extra pillows in a house full of puppies means a couple of new dog beds.  This project was simple to repurpose and dress up some unused pillows with fun fabric in just a few hours.
