optics

i'm not saying E is unaffectionate or unengaged. no sirree. he enthusiastically licks our post-workout bodies like we forgot to feed him last nite. he has been known to protest pee on the rug when we bring out the suitcases once too often. he waits patiently for both of us to retire before he himself enters the bedroom at nite. and then he carefully apportions his time between both sides of the bed.

but there's one thing for sure. when we are all together his preferred posture is to turn his back on us.
