So I thought I'd do a very little mopping. Buddy thought he'd help.
Clearly, the following things are true in BuddyLand:
1. Nothing bad can happen on Buddy's Blanket. Buddy, himself, has positioned (and repositioned, ad infinitum) said Blanket with an eye toward strategic advantage. It lies next to the refrigerator, a tremendous source of wonder for him, and, paradoxically, warmth. The little square of cloth is always carefully situated between the trash can, from which goodies may fall, and the Food and Water Bowls, the center of Buddy's Universe.
2. Only an attack on the Food and Water Bowls is sufficient cause to go to war.
3. While #2 is true, it is also true that he who fights and runs away, may live to fight another day. These conflicting truths make the decision to go to war much too much of a decision for a very small animal and leaves only #1 as uncompromisingly reliable -- Nothing bad can happen on Buddy's Blanket.
