ON THE BACK BURNER

If you walked into my bedroom, here in Venice, you would see a bed that has 3 chairs pushed up to one side and a bunch of cushions on the other side . All this is to keep Dixie from falling out of bed. I often wake up during the night for a millisecond, just to feel where she is. It doesn't interfere with my sleep and I go right back to sleep. Some where in the early AM, she fell out of bed. I was up in a second and she was still on her side, on the floor, startled about what had just happened. She was not in the least bit hurt,  but she was shaking and seemed frightened. I felt terrible. Apparently, because dogs seem to like pillows, she must have climbed up on the cushion and went over the edge. Tonight, on that side of the bed, I have added my night stand , another chair( I am running out of chairs) and a folded step stool. Hopefully, this falling out of bed doesn't happen again, because I am running out of movable furniture..
