Bonzo, please report back on the reaction to the large space.

Both of my dogs slept on the bed last night during a long thunderstorm, though the one who really dislikes the storms eventually hopped down and hunkered in the hall where no windows let her see the flashes. The other old dog used to sleep on his former owner's bed, so on rare occasions is allowed up on the bed here. He puts out a lot of heat and is a bit of a bed hog.
