Reply #22: We call them puppy shelves around my house.

[Jamastiene]

Growing up, I had 5 dogs inside the house. They were all small dogs, like poodles and yorkies. Of course, they loved to be cuddled. So, we always called them puppy shelves or puppy pillows, because when we would carry the dogs around, they'd sort of rest there just right or they would fall asleep laying their head on them to get closer to the heartbeat.
