Feet Up, With Bulldogge

My doctor recommended to me that I put my feet up whenever possible to try to ease some of the swelling of my feet and ankles I've been experiencing (oh cankles! oh yuck!).  So when I am home and sitting on the couch, I drag a chair over and put my feet up, as ordered.

Of course, Dorothy decided that she would like to partake.  Somehow, I don't think this is what the doctor had in mind:

Bed's Too Big Without You

It has been brought to my attention by a reader who also happens to be Dorothy’s granny that Dorothy’s bed looks a little, well, petite for her.

And I cannot argue the point.  Dorothy does look like a muffin-top in this bed, and the look is a bit ridiculous.  However, I do feel the need to point out that Dorothy currently has 4 other, large and larger beds that she could choose to lie in.

But a good portion of the time, Dorothy will choose the small bed and cram her muscular body into it.  I guess the girl likes to feel swaddled, or perhaps in her mind she is a petite delicate flower.  And who am I to argue with that?
