Inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 12 November 2021, cavalier.
An hapless young cop called Nathaniel,
For a police dog, he chose King Charles spaniel,
But found far from detecting,
And, in general, protecting,
When it came to shuteye, wrote the manual
Mister Bump 
My King Charles has a different problem to yours……

Probably. I do look at other responses, but last thing before bed. Something to look forward to, then.

You might know of someone else with the same doggie problem. Something’s not right. It’s either the cavalier or me…….

Shuteye – the friendliest cop in town. 🙂 In Bahasa Indonesia, the word for speedhump literally tranlates as sleeping policeman. I hope that wasn’t the KC’s fate.

That’s what they were known as originally, isn’t it? I’m sure I heard the term Sleeping Policeman. Hobbo will know!

You’re probably right. I guess I heard it in Indonesian first and not so much in English.

What dogs are best at is sleeping, although cats are even better at that.
