The Mr. has been wanting a hammock for a while now. I have had my eye on an L.L. Bean one, but when you add the stand and shipping costs, it had a price tag of over $400 and I just couldn’t pull the trigger. As luck would have it, a couple of weeks ago when the Mr. took his mom to Christmas Tree Shoppe (not his favorite place to go, but he’s a good son!), he found one with a stand for only $99! After we set it up and tried it out, Nola decided she would like to test it too.
Turns out, it has now become her favorite place to lay. It takes a little bit of work to keep the hammock still when she gets up, but once she settles in, she falls right asleep!
I think she also likes that it is high off the ground, which means Sarge can only get so close.
Of course, we only let her up on the hammock when we are around to supervise. We wouldn’t want her to get hurt jumping on or off!
I was never a big hammock person, but after sharing one with my favorite pup (shhh, don’t tell Sarge), I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a summer afternoon.

Oh…a hammock looks so fun and the perfect idea of summer. I don’t think Nola is ever leaving that spot!
Too cool. Nola looks like she enjoys it so much! That first photo of her snoozing is so precious!
Adorable! I like that the weave on the hammock is so tight– the hammock my family had when I was growing up had such a loose weave that often it would leave a fishnet-looking pattern on any bare skin when you got up.
Wow! Nola is a genius and so brave! My pup Petey gets very upset when I go in a hammock!
Nola looks like she is really enjoying her new hammock. Oddly enough, we were just talking about getting a hammock on Saturday and the hubby said Ray would probably want to be in it with me the entire time. I didn’t think so, but seeing how much Nola likes it makes me rethink…
Any time we take it out she comes right over. I don’t think I’ve been on it without her the whole time we’ve had it! I bet Ray would like it too!
That’s awesome, I really want to get a hammock too. I like that one because it does not have holes in the netting. Nola looks so content š
