Freefall

Which is all fine and dandy until one decides they want an extra turn (like my cats did last night).

Round, and round, and round we go. Where we stop...◊

Does anyone feel it weird that while Florence has human proportions, she can move effectively like a dog?

Yeah, her hip joints that can bend past her back feel a bit like Abnormal Limb Rotation Range to me.

Beekay takes Florence down◊.

Oh yeah, little dogs know to go for the joints right by the feet. All too well.

They're called "ankle-biters" for a reason.

All small dogs think they are dire wolves.

No, half of all small dogs think they're dire wolves. The other half know exactly how small and easily hurt they would be compared to the things stomping around all about them, and they're constantly afraid of everything as a result. These small dogs are mostly known for regularly wetting the floor in fear, but that's much easier for people to deal with than the more infamous nippers.

Game Over, Man...◊ Game over!

That's the downside to a smaller body; less energy reserves.

This is what I tell myself when I see my child run around like a lunatic and I have to catch her.

Clingy◊

That's an impressive level of cling for a sleepy dog.

I've never owned a small dog, but that behavior seems more typical of a cat.

Not really. Cats don't adhere to you: when they're ready to go to sleep, they may cuddle but it's more like "resting on top of" than "attached". Depends on the cat, of course.

Yeah, cats tend to dig their claws in repeatedly before they fall asleep. It's a trait leftover from when they were kittens, nursing at their mother's teat, and kneading it to stimulate milk flow.

My cat sleeps soundly, sweetly oblivious to anything happening around her, right up to the microsecond that something happens that she might not like, then she wakes up for the fraction of a second it takes to prevent that thing from happening, then instantaneously returns to sleep. Or at least that's how it appears to me—another explanation is that she is only half asleep.

Yeah, attaching oneself like that is more of a trait of primates and rodents.

Shields up.◊

Okay, that canine has evolved auto-telekinesis. It's the only explanation for that motion.

Im telling you... it's a cat!

Discussions of Fully-body Hairnets◊.

Technically speaking, gloves, long sleeves, and a hairnet mask work just fine. But yes, there are significant annoying details the particularly hairy have to deal with to work in the food industry.
