Read a posting yesterday about Richard and Debra and their king-sized water bed. I too have a water bed but alas it is only a queenie. When we renovated our bedroom by removing all the carpeting and laying down tile, we had to tear down and then reassemble our beloved bubble bed. When we reassembled it we took into consideration that our little fuzzies love that "dead" space as well and ended up making some modification to make us both happy. I like the thought that they have a place that is dark and "secret" and didn't want to take it away from them. So, we cut down the sides near the top where the headboard sits. We set up the bed so it sat approximately 8" from the wall in the under part and just close enough for us to get an arm through. I then rolled up paper and stuffed it in making a nice puffy area that conducts and holds the heat well. Because I built up the area with paper, the height alone makes it easy to reach in and grab a fert if we need to. I don't panic because I can reach them now and they're happy because they get to keep their secret sleeping spot. Betty and her remaining Blurs'OFur Missing Tinder [Posted in FML issue 2441]
