Middle of the Road

It is important to always maintain balance, which could be another way of saying that you should stay in the middle of the road.  And how do you translate that as a canine?

stretching out for a nap

Frankie says he is merely stretching out for a nap.

nothing happens

Of course, he wants to make sure that nothing happens without his knowledge.

Thus, if you maintain the middle of the road, no one can step around you easily.

    Mom sez: Ice is also VERY “middle of the road”. When he sleeps in the hallway, he’s stretched out, “kitty-corner” at the end of the hall so you HAVE to step over him, or he stretches out full-length across the doorway just inside the ensuite bathroom, so getting up in the night is a challenge!

    Must be a sibe thing…Cierra does the same thing…in hallways, bedrooms, entry ways…then gives a snarl when you try to pass her! Silly dog! lol

    Funny, there’s a little black Greyhound at our house with the same philosophy!

    Sounds like a good strategy for me. 🙂

    You might like this video. The pup would be a good playmate for Typhoon.

      Yes, we totally approve of that Sibe’s behavior!

    Frankie’s like my dog Dixie, she’s a middle of the road dog too.
