Draping

I am somewhat a connoseiur of comfort. Seeing as how I spend roughly two thirds of my day resting, I have a great deal of experience in the realm of sleeping positions and locations. You might say I had a nose for repose.

To my canid friends, a secret: there is nothing like using a human as a pillow. Observe:



Mother would like to say here that iPhones + low lights = unfortunate photo quality. But, wisely, she did not use flash so as not to disturb me.

I refer to this as "draping." While a couch cushion or bed pillow only provides a soft surface, a human is both ergonomic AND warm. And if, like me, you monitor your human's kitchen activity or various comings and goings, using a human pillow is an excellent way to keep your paws on them at all times. Also, your strategic placement across a human's lap is terribly inviting for them--they simply cannot resist petting you or scratching your ears. Try it. Human behavior is quite fascinating.

As you can see here I have managed to drape myself across two humans.
This is more or less the entire length of the couch. 


I am looking forward to this weekend. I have a Superbowl party to attend, at which I will be the guest food judge. Tonight and Saturday I will be working on perfecting my game face. This refers not to the testosterone-derived aggression mask favored by athletes but to the heartbreakingly adorable squinch of the forehead I employ tableside--specially calibrated to make humans part with their food.
As they say: get ready, sports fans.
