Katie the Beagle left her iPaw unguarded for a while last night while she slept. Curiosity drove me to check it out to see what her daily calendar looks like. As it turns out, it consists entirely of a single schedule, set to recur every day, with one varient for warm weather:
8:00 am - Wake up.
8:01 am - Go into Monique's office. Crawl on bed. Go back to sleep.
11:00 am (Nice days) - Ask to go outside to bask in sunlight. Sleep in sun.
1:00 pm - AFTERNOON WALK WITH MONIQUE!!!!
1:45 pm - Back to sleep in Monique's office.
7:30 pm - John comes home. Solicit belly rub and walk.
7:31 pm - Walk with John
7:50 pm - DINNER!
7:50:23 pm - After dinner, climb up onto couch and go to sleep
8:30 pm - Table scraps! Stare hopefully and pitifully at John and Monique when they finish dinner.
8:31 pm - Climb on couch. Solicit belly-rubs and petting. Optional nap.
8:50 pm - Liver snaps!
9:00 pm - More belly rubs and petting
9:15 pm - Climb into living-room bed. Sleep.
11:55 pm - Late-night piddle
Midnight - Bedroom bed. Sleep.
Total planned sleep time per day: 22 hours, nine minutes. I would claim that she must be narcoleptic, but as near as I can tell, this is the general sleep ratio for all beagles.
You left out her intellectual pursuits, her contemplative periods.
ReplyDelete4:30 - Walk to big glass door facing lake. Sit. Stare through big glass door.
and don't overlook the time spent regularly in isotonic exercises: stretching her body voluptuously and her muzzle in huge yawns. She follows healthy routines better than most humans, I'd say.
