Perhaps you're a tennis fanatic, or your precious pooch just can't get enough of those irresistible neon green balls -- the Hex Tennis Dog Bed is just for you. Brought to you by the same person who designed the Tennis Ball Chair, the bed is by someone who probably has a fixation with the sport!
That someone is Hugh Hayden. Made from recycled tennis balls -- although they look brand new -- the Hex Tennis Dog Bed is as eco-friendly as it is pet-friendly. The bed retails at $285; I just have to wonder if it's comfortable.
