Imagine a dog that is just completely overheated and done in.
You know how that dog looks, right?
Sprawled on the floor. Legs out. Everything as low as it can go, including chin and tail.
And then imagine that dog on a raised platform of some kind - so now his body is flat out on the top of the plank, and his legs are hanging down on either side of the plank.
Are you there?
Can you picture that?
OK. Now forget that it's a dog.
I just looked out my window, and saw a squirrel doing that exact thing on top of our wooden gate.
Every piece of him, from chin to tail, flopped onto the top piece of wood, legs dangling down either side.
Baby, it's HOT outside!
