They're smarter than people, see. They just don't do that. Ever.

Come to think of it, so do some people.

if they go out the dog door on a full-moon night. I'm not sure why that is, though. But, not the sun. They don't look at the sun. It's too bright for them, so they just don't.

Besides, beagles and other hounds never really look up, anyhow. They're too busy sniffing the ground. Ours love to try to chase rabbits, but they'll walk right by one that is sitting still. They don't see them unless they move or run away. The rabbits know that. Often, on our walks, we'll walk right past a rabbit not 6' from the sidewalk. As long as they freeze, the dogs don't see them. It's the funniest thing.

But I locked them away from the sunny window just in case.

they hate the heat and would rather lie around on the cool tile.

I somehow doubt the eclipse will interrupt her nap.

When the felines are busy resting up for their major activity of the day - the afternoon snooze.

The fog hasn't burned of yet anyway.

musn't tire them out before the next nap

would never interrupt their after breakfast naps for a mere total eclipse of the sun and this is before their mid-morning naps. All of this is to conserve energy for their after-dinner runs around the property. Sigh!

If they're not sleeping they're heads down, hunting and prowling through the grass and shrubbery, and not staring stupidly at the sun like dumbass humans.

so no eclipse to see.

As expected, the cats napped straight through it.

I can't even count the number of times I've pointed to something only to have my dog keep looking at me.

But then again, I keep my cats indoors--where they can nap the eclipse away!
