Its a long, cold winter.

Temperatures in the single digits and the Dobe wants to lie in the sunlight streaming through the slider. The sun is warm inside with the furnace on. Dark brown fur is warm in the sun spot, but short hair doesn't provide much protection outside where wind puts the wind chill factor at 4  below.

So what is a Doberman to do?

How about taking out pent up energy on your dog bed?

While mom and dad were at work, the doberman went after her crate bed. With the stuffing strewn around the kitchen floor, she next went after her Orvis donut bed. She ripped a small opening, but then resisted further damage.

It's been a long cold winter. The kind that is tough on Dobermans. And their beds.
