While the humans at the Rolling Dog Ranch hustle all day (and evening), the dogs … they nap. That’s it. They nap. Oh, sure, occasionally they’ll run around briefly in the yard, and some of the young ones will romp and roughhouse with each other, but by and large they nap most of the day.
This is one of those odd things, because we’ll let the dogs out of their cottages in the morning (these are the cottages here next to our house), and they’ll go off to do their business, but pretty soon they’re in the house … and asleep again. Having just been sleeping for, well, at least 8 hours. I would actually bet that in any 24-hour period, the dogs sleep more than the cats.
So at any point throughout the day, our small house is filled with sleeping dogs. It’s enough to make me want to walk through the house, wake them up, and lecture them about ambition and the drive to succeed … to point out to them that Rome was not built by sleeping dogs. But I’m afraid any such talk would fall on deaf ears, as in Stuart above, or they simply wouldn’t see my point, as in blind Callie below:
