Looks like this lovely German Shepherd needs a bigger bed. LOL But she still looks pretty comfortable sleeping on it.

Best Dog Beds for Senior Dogs
One of the best ways to pamper your older dog is through his own bed. Pet beds offer your buddy with a safe, comfortable place to rest. As you may have noticed, dogs in general love to curl up on a soft bed. Reward your furry pal with a high-quality pet bed that will help soothe his tired and old bones. Here are some great options:
Thick foam – this kind of bed will help alleviate aches and pains of your senior dog. As our dog ages, he needs more support from his bed to reduce joint pain. Large dogs need at least 7 inches thick to support them.
Memory foam -memory foam pet bed helps support the skeletal system as well as reduce the development of elbow or hock calluses. Such bed is ideal for older dogs with arthritis. Memory foam bed offers comfort, warmth and support.
Heated – Older dogs need to be kept warm as they tend to be less active. Such pet bed is good for senior dogs with arthritis.
Whatever you choose, make sure that the bed is sturdy enough and it won’t tear easily. Choose a dog bed that is thick and tightly woven that you can remove for washing.
