I Took a Chance on This Photo

I had no idea what this picture was when I chose it. It was a mystery photo to me because the thumbnails of my photos on my computer were so small. But I wanted to use a photo in this post because I haven't been adding photos to my posts. I wanted to add a little excitement to my next post.
LOL, turns out this is a photo my husband took on Christmas Day of me and my dog taking a nap. We keep that sheet on the couch so she doesn't get it dirty. Personally, I would never, ever have a cream colored or beige couch if I was going to live with kids or pets. But my husband already had this couch when we got married. So he came with the couch.
My dog Jenny sleeps with her leg up like that all the time. Isn't she a riot?!
Anyway, do you have any suggestions on how to see my photos larger on my computer before I try to post them on myLot?

@MarieCoyle It's such a crazy position, isn't it? I don't know how that can be comfortable. You have to use leg muscles to keep your leg up in the air like that.

@JimBo452020 She does snore once in a while, but fortunately, she is a soft snorer. And my husband and I giggle at how cute it sounds.

@Kouponkaren Sometimes pictures don’t occur to you until it’s too late.

@Kouponkaren Oh yes, I can totally relate! But knowing me, I'd want to nap but wouldn't be able to .. . but surely I'd try to sleep earlier

@much2say Thanks We were. Christmas always tires me out and this was Christmas afternoon after all of the gifts were opened and dinner had been prepared and eaten. That's a good time for a nap wouldn't you say?

I had a dog that slept flat on her back most of the time.

@Kouponkaren This is Bambi. She was very broad so it was easy for her to do.

I have no idea my photos are stored on my laptop and when looking through them I can preview the photo so I see it much larger and then can decide to use it,

@RasmaSandra My photo thumbnails are so small that I can't make out what they are. So for this post, I just chose a random photo. My husband is ok with me using it.

@Kouponkaren you mean all the photos are on your smartphone that I would know nothing about I have mine stored in my laptop

@RasmaSandra No, they are on my laptop, which is actually a Chromebook, but so tiny that I can't figure out what they are. There must be a way that I can make them larger on my laptop.

@CarolDM I don't know either because it's on my Chromebook, not a regular laptop, but I figured out how to enlarge my photos tonight.

What computer are you using? You can open your photos in any photo app that comes with your computer, and it'll automatically enlarge it for you.

@JudyEv...I don't think I have paint on this Chromebook. I have only had it for 4 years. You would think I would have this figured out by now! Ha ha!

@Kouponkaren It is possibly quite simple once you read up on it.

Hey Karen! You should be able to go into your settings and change the size of your icons/thumbnails, that way it's easier for you to see the files.
You might start here:
I'm not sure if you're running Windows 10 or not, but that article should get you in the right direction of fixing your icon problem!

@CodenameFStop Thanks so much for your help. I did figure it out tonight and just added a new post with a new photo. Now that I have the hang of it, this is going to be fun!

@sarik1 Thanks. I guess it is rather peaceful with us both sleeping.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I simply upload the photos from my mobile phone. And, by the way, that's a cute photo:)
