The inner sanctum

Welcome to my humble abode -- the inner sanctum, as it were.

 Let me show you around.  Please follow me.

To your left you will see a rosemary bush.  Note the aroma.

 

It's just one of the many great smells in my domain.  

   

Over there is where squirrels sometimes hide.  

Off to my right is a spot that's very good for general sniffing.

Just behind me is my preferred spot for nightly sphincter relief.  

I could go on and on....What, you have to go, so soon?  We've barely skimmed the surface here. There are so many aspects to share with you.  Maybe you'll come back sometime for a more nuanced tour.

My bed

My bed is one of my favorite places.  I always feel secure there.  Fortuitously, it is on the ground, and easy to access without requiring any embarrassing tests of my jumping abilities.

At the window

People at the bluffs often tell us that they've seen me looking out the window as they walk by our home.

I might be meditating, relaxing in the sun, or reviewing past events.  

 

It does bother me a bit to have my private reflective moments be so exposed.

But the back of the sofa is without peer in the unique side-by-side configuration of sun worship and sentinel opportunities that it offers.

Rainy day

Garbo, Howard Hughes, J.D. Salinger, and....Sam

     Readers of this blog might be under the impression that I have two brothers, but that would be the wrong impression.  Actually, I also have a third and equally wonderful brother, but he is not a fan of my blog so does not typically oblige the photographer who tries to capture him with me.      

    To the right is a rare shot of him and me together.  

 

And below is another:  a photo booth shot provided by none other than the reclusive man himself:

Thank you, Sam, for letting me feature you in my blog.

Adventure

Sun and wind and beat of sea,

Great lands stretching endlessly...

Where be bonds to bind the free?

All the world was made for me!

Dog days of summer

With the endless days of summer on the wane, I have been trying to get in some rest time with my brothers before they have to focus on their schoolwork again.

One has to take one's rest where one can get it.

And,with my own exhausting schedule, rest time is a must.

Screen door tale

    

As I was coming back from the bluff the other night I heard noises from Willy's home.  I raced across the street, and there was my friend, on the other side of his screen door.

       

We were like Romeo and Juliet.   Or Romeo and Romeo.

Finally the door opened, and we were reunited.

Transitional object

I love my bone.

During the day I keep it hidden in various bedrooms.  Then, in the evening when I feel we're having a nice family time with everyone gathered, I go get it to add to the relaxed mood.

 

When I go to bed I make sure to bring my bone upstairs with me.
