Happy Thought for 4 August 2023
Have a Happy Thought:
Recently I learned a new term, and it’s just too adorable not to share
with all of you.
Splooting.
This is when animals spread-eagle onto the ground to really press their
furry little bellies onto the surface. It’s usually done when it’s really hot
out and the ground is a bit cooler, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen animals doing
this on cold days onto sunny pavement.
Still not quite sure what I mean? Have some adorableness:

Bear:
What an unbearable day! It's not uncommon to see a bear sploot, or sit face down after digging a belly hole to relax in and digest a meal.
