It has been a long, hot summer. The Lhasas have retreated to the comfort of the air conditioning. They have spent the summer in blissful contentment, cool and pampered, with treaties and humans at their beck and call.
You would think that it would be all any Lhasa could want. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There has been an escalating contention regarding the air conditioning vents. Now, this house is cool. It has central heat and air and we humans keep it at consistent 72 degrees. The point being that there is no necessity for any of them to seek out greater sources of cold. Never-the-less, they have decided, in their typical Lhasa logic that his is not sufficient for their needs. It all started on the first really warm day of the summer. They all came in from their ususal afternoon romp warmer than they were used to being. They all flopped down on the floor and, as luck would have it, Sunny landed directly on top of the living room floor vent. The air conditioner promptly kicked on and the sudden blast of cold air hit Sunny directly on his bare tummy, He jumped right straight up into the air in shocked surprise. This sudden display of unexpected activity, of course, immediately attracted the full attention of all of the others. They all converged, in mass, on the spot that had elicited such a strange reaction from their cohort. Naturally, this unusual event necessitated immediate and intense investigation. Five frantically sniffing noses resulted in blowing ears and chilled faces. One thing led to another and before you knew it, paws, tails tummies and ears were being experimentally exposed to the rush of cold air. This, they decided, was and enchanting diversion. Not only did it feel good on overly warm body parts, but it was, apparently, a great cure for the boredom of heat induced confinement in the house. Initially, we humans were amused by their antics, never suspecting the turmoil that would result from their intriguing discovery. The first sign of unrest resulted from the fact that there are only two vents in the area in which we traditionally spend the majority of our time. Now five Lhasas and two vents do not compute. Everybody wanted possession of the vents and, obviously, there were not enough vents to accommodate the population of Lhasas. This, of course, resulted in constant bickering and decoy tactics as everyone tried everything they could think of to be in possession of one of the vents. Go To Page: 1 2
