Oy, I had little sleep last night, and it was freezing to boot. And another long week begins. Will something good happen? Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili shows her Semitic temperament: the feeling that something is wrong, no matter what the data:
A: What are you looking at? Did something frighten you?
Hili: Not yet. I’m just checking whether everything is in order.
In Polish:
Ja: Czemu się tak przyglądasz? Wystraszyłaś się czegoś?
Hili: Jeszcze nie. Sprawdzam czy wszystko w porządku.
Freezing to boot…
I saw what you did there.
It is a certainty!
Will enough bad things happen to outweigh the good? Unfortunately, this is almost a given.
“Meanwhile in Dobrzyn…” 🙂
I have a theory (and, it’s mine) that animals like cats and d*gs are deeply attached to habit and routine. At least as adults. Their world seems to revolve around the expected next thing to do throughout the day, and they are always on guard for any deviation. Deviations are taken as a threat until they are fully incorporated into routine. Like any good theory, this may be completely false.
I think there are both routine-preferring d*gs and surprise-loving d*gs.
Cats mostly group at the routine end of the scale. (But they like new toys! Some of them. Unpredictably, of course.)
After all, you never know when a jubjub bird might be preparing its final attack….
