Tailspin

 Tailspin




f
As part of his pilot training, Gilbert has to practise getting out of a tailspin.


Meanwhile, Roxy, his instructor, watches from the comfort of HMC (Her Master's Chair) Note that she has rearranged the coverings to her liking. She and Gilbert do this several times a day. 


Roxy is squinting to get a really objective view of this most critical part of Gilbert's training. She vehemently denies any notion that she is thoroughly bored with the process and falling asleep.

After a strenuous training session, Gilbert retires to the sofa to practise covert, undercover tennis ball operations.

  3. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, Tigger, but sadly . . . we know cats, too ;-)

  4. There was once a tv segment here called Phunny Photos. Gilbert with his tail in his mouth would have been a good entrant.

    1. It's as though they suddenly realise there's a tail attached somewhere but can't quite realise it's theirs.

  5. Oh bless him. We had a labrador cross when I was a child who would chase his tail, it's something that Archie's never done, though he does sploot!

  6. Each dog is unique. That's why they're so entertaining. Nice to hear that Archie sploots :-)

  11. I wonder if he enjoys the tailspin? It doesn't look fun to me.

  12. I wouldn't enjoy it, but I don't have a tail!

  13. That's something a cat wouldn't do chase her own tail ! Fortunately it is not allowed anymore to cut off certain dog tails, poor things ! The first time I saw a Boxer with tail and ears I had to look twice to recognize the breed !
