Proper Outdoor Etiquette

The season may be early, but we are having beautiful spring day after spring day. For some odd reason, Hu-Dad reminded us of proper outdoor etiquette.

It might have had something to do with this.

It might have had something to do with this.

Hu-Dad looked out the kitchen window and noticed that Typhoon was snoozing away, Sunny Sibe Up. Uh, Typhoon, do you really think that is appropriate for outdoor snoozing?

Oh, so I should be more like this.

Oh, so I should be more like this.

Yes, yes, Typhoon, thank you for showing some proper decorum for enjoying the sunny days. Now just keep that up.

So, again, this would be inappropriate.

So, again, this would be inappropriate.

Egads, yes, Typhoon, don’t you have a sense of the proper behavior. What will the neighbors say?

We don't have neighbors.

We don’t have neighbors.

Good point. You win.

    Oh yes that was Keeta the Akita’s favorite position too. But it was also my open invitation to lots and lots of belly rubs!!!!!

    Mom sez: That used to be Ayla’s favourite sleeping position, too — inside OR out. Ice, NEVER. Ebby, occasionally.
