A Day in Bed...

Oooh la la... I would love to lounge in this one... or this one...

With beds like those... it's hard to get up... apparently these little darlings feel the same about their designer beds too...If you must get out of bed... LOVE these beds you can take with you with matching carriers... Fifi dreams of one of these... named Trixie...
While lounging around... I couldn't help but paint a couple fellow loungers I found on fellow blogger sites... FUN patterns in both of theses...

I hope you ENJOY a lounging day!!! See you outdoors tomorrow!!!

Photos via Google search for designer bedrooms and pets in bed... I cannot remember which two bloggers I stole these painted pets from... sorry... if you know please tell moi... merci!
