Here's old Domino, fast asleep:
If you've never had the pleasure of meeting Domino, I will point out here that she is a big dog. She currently weighs about 65 pounds. You might notice that she has crammed her entire body into a dog bed that is actually intended for a 10 to 15 pound dog. The small bed belongs to Stupsi who weighs about 12 pounds or so. Domino's rather large bed is on the floor right next to Stupsi's bed. You can see it in the picture. It is completely empty. Sure, Domino could get up and plant herself on her own bed, which is probably much more comfortable because it is designed for a dog her size. But this is clearly a matter of principle. Stupsi is out of the picture, fast asleep on the cold, hard floor. Domino is still very much in charge of things around here.
