Sleep the Final Frontier

These are the voyages of the SS Sheltie whose only mission is to find entertainment, protect the frontier, enjoy life, and to keep Mama and Papa awake while doing it.

Our latest experiment on sleep deprivation has some rather unexpected and unwelcome results. Subjects Mama and Papa have not been happy with our late night and early morning house explorations during storm situations.

This morning subject Papa actually placed Katy in the crate after she ran wild during a test of her physical agility that required her to leap in the dark on the bed. Her landing was off and subject Papa was not pleased with the outcome.

It appears our voyage here to explore the wild weather phenomena know as thunder has had unexpected side effects that we cannot seem to control. We do notice that while we seem to have no adverse effects from these night and early morning excursions, our subjects do seem to be exhibiting crankiness, a need for more sleep, and less enthusiasm for long walks. There will be more on our research to come later faithful readers. We are looking for a shady spot for a nap.

  4. This is excellent scientific work. Watch out - I have discovered an increase in human grouchiness causes a decrease in treats as well.

  6. LOL! Just so long as Bad Landing doesn't lead a surprised subject Papa to unexpectedly ejecting our brave puppeteers into the wild blue yonder!

  8. LOL! I do a lot of barking at thunder and that keeps my mom and dad up too. But I am sure dad prefers that to "bad landing"! :)

  9. I would try that, but I think Dog Dad might bite me. He lets out one of those low growls that sounds like a grizley bear. Besides I am not afraid of thunder and Dad knows it.

    No experiments in my house.
