Don't think like that anon. I can tell you love her more than anything in the world.

My dogs refuse to use their beds. Sometimes they will get on mine but rarely they do. They just wanna sleep in the middle of the hardwood floor.
Even the cat only uses his bed for sitting on it to look out the window. Which makes me sad because after they weren't using their expensive ass store bought beds I fucking sewed them some like a fag and they still rather the floor.

>dog is completely happy
That's all that matters, don't look too much in to it. Your dog would be happy laying in dirt as long as you're there.

Awe what a sweet and loving dog, and no you didn't fail her. She knows that you love her unconditionally. know what you mean me and my family suffered a terrible flood because of.hurricane Harvey i lost a lot but i didnt loose everything my family amd i are safe amd.so are my babies but unfortunately my wonderful and beautiful babies a cat named mishka and a dog named chica have lost everything i tried to save as much as i could but.it was to late i salvaged as much as i could but i noticed that all that doesn't really matter to them in the end all they really want is your love, attention, comfort and.for.you to play with them all they want is to be by your side to sleep with you to spent every moment with you even in when your in the fucking bathroom lol. All they want is you and nothing else matters. So no you didn't fail your dog at all she loves you no bed or a bed, no money or money all she truly cares about is you. So don't beat yourself up about it till eat you alive .

>Feel like I've failed someone who's loved me so unconditionally
Nah, dogs don't love you unconditionally. Stop feeding her and petting her, and start slapping her. She'll hate you within a week. Even with years of good, positive treatment.

Same thing with humans if you abuse a human their not going to like you and be fearful or still try to win your love same with animals
>>
And you shouldn't get a pet if your going to abuse it or treat it like that

You only would have failed your dog if you didn't care about your dog, and it's clear you love the shit out of her. You did fine.
>>
You're fine OP. She was probably super comfy on those old blankets and loves you a ton.
My dog chooses to sleep on the hardwood so I don't think yours would mind not having a bed
