When the vacuum cleaner comes out, Mattie and Trooper tend to stay clear.  The living room dog beds are stacked and moved for easier cleaning.  Lately, both critters have taken a liking to the extra plushness of this three tiered dog bed.  The bear with Mattie is not a staged picture!  Believe it or not, she sandwiched herself in-between the beds and propped up Mr. Bear herself!
