Like most of us, Bear has her favorite spots around the house in which to relax. These spots tend to follow me around the house, as she considers herself to be My Guardian. If I'm in the laundry room, she is in the laundry room. If I am reading in bed or napping, she is next to the bed, between me and the window. If I am knitting and watching TV, she is blocking drafts from the sliding glass door to the deck and protecting me from anyone who might try to break in. Her strategy seems to be effective: no one has yet managed to break in and attack me.
Since I spend a lot of time at the computer in my office, she tends to spend a lot of time there as well.
A few months ago we noticed that she often lies in the same position in *her spot.* Behold, Princess Brindle Bear of Antler:
See the outline?
We wanted to perform some CSI-type tests over time to test our hypothesis that she always lies in the same position in the same spot.
Careful measurement has revealed, however, that although she appears to be in the exact same spot and position, she actually positions herself differently each time.
Paws askew:
Sometimes, in fact, she really mixes it up.
May I present Bear the daredevil:
Livin' on the edge.
