Under NO circumstances should you attempt to sleep resting on a football, unless you have a loved one on hand to help fish you out of the predicament you’ll find yourself in when you wake and feel all shaky in the bot-bot and then panic when you discover it’s because you’re resting on a football.
Also? Using an Aussie Rules footy is easier because it will only roll out from under you in one direction. Just a tip.
There are three simple steps to this exercise:
 |
| The blissfully unaware stage. Also known as “butt-teetering”…. |
 |
| The “why can’t I… Get… Up?” wake-in-panic stage. Upside-down pirouette pose optional. |
 |
| The “oh shite, I’m really stuck now” realisation sinks in. If your loved one is kind, they will help you without fuss and keep guffaws to a minimum. Until they’re inside where you can’t see them. |
This post starred: Pepper the 18-ish-year-old Wonder Dog with her pointy ears (all the better to hear absolutely NOTHING with, my dear). She’s still here. We don’t know why, but it appears she is determined to stay for the long haul and/or to prove a point to the upstart “pup” who is now middle-aged herself.
Bahahaha! Poor old Pep! Thinking about you watching her out the window, taking photos of her in a situation. Love your work K!
Bridgie Didge: Ah… yes. Ooops. Now you mention it, I can see how this sounds. And you'd be right!
oh so good to see poor old Pep still cruising along, very odd sleeping place, but If not completely pumped up I suppose it could provide cushioning for her butt
Surprised you have intact balls in your yard, my poor daughter has never been allowed a ball to play with asit enevitably gets destroyed and eaten by the pooch LOL!
Car: Hmmm she's not so much cruising as slipping, sliding and generally just hobbling! Thankfully, the younger dog grew out of her "Every ball I see is MIIIIINE" stage about a year ago. Mind you, when she's out and someone has a ball, it's apparently fair game!
she's still there because it's obviously not her time to go yet
i love that about dogs – their ability to sleep ANYWHERE!!
~x~
Yeah, she's looking a little rough, a little tatty…a little like me, actually! You must take very good care of her, she loves you so much she's going nowhere.
Can't blame her for trying…
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
stinkb0mb: Well that's the truth. They do just lay their heads down and get on with it, don't they!
Tempo: Would you believe, she's not on a drop of medicine and hasn't had any surgery in her life? Geez now I've dropped her in it. Waiting for Murphy to administer his law in 3, 2, 1…
Steve: Oh, standing ovation for the jester if you please! How did nobody tackle that one before?
Ha ha ha!!
That made me giggle
