I asked Mr Google why a ginormous footstool is called an ottoman, and he said that it is called that after the ginormous Ottoman empire. I guess that’s why Angel Lexi always called it her “throne,” and delighted in laying on it.
This is Lexi, seven years old in 2010. She was the reigning queen on her throne.
My Guardian Angel Lexi bequeathed her throne to me, the warrior princess. 
Here I am on the same ottoman throne. Someday, when I am a little older, I will be the reigning queen, too!
I am Xena the Schnauzer Warrior Princess
