We all need to take a lesson from our pets about how to relax. Have you ever seen a cat that did not look completely comfortable upside down on the back of a couch? Or a dog that knows exactly the right position to take in order to fit onto an ottoman? Do you ever find yourself saying: "Oh, I wish I could relax like that"?
I have noticed a few things about our crew.
I have noticed a few things about our crew.
- They each have their own special spot where they relax.
- They have a special time of day when they like to occupy certain spaces (whether that be the floor near a sunny window inside in the morning, or under the shade of a tree outside in the late afternoon).
- They all have a certain position they assume when they relax.
Lilah, on the other hand, likes to melt into the couch. She takes up way more room then she should. Many times she will hang her head over the edge of the couch. I think it's a beauty treatment--you know, let the blood rush to your head and you feel more refreshed. It seems to work for dogs. For me, not so much.
Matty Matt the Bratty Cat is usually aware of his surroundings and people marauding with cameras. This is the typical one-eye-oh-it's-only-you-again look.. I believe this is called a "cat nap."

The biggest question in my house is always: "Is there a seat for me?" The answer is usually "no." Sometimes I have to play the Queen of Hearts and say "OFF" with somebody. I am sure that was what the threesome below were waiting for when I snapped this photo. The photo below is an older photo. It includes (L to R) Winston, Danny and Moe. We have since lost Winston, an older dog we took in through a rescue. We were very happy to support his final years with as much relaxation time as he needed. That's what it's all about.
