Falstaff Runnels is a 6 year old boxer. By and large he does almost nothing.
8AM: Subject wakes up, stretches out on his front legs like a cat and yawns. Subject kicks it into high gear with a couple of kidney-bean spins.
8:05AM: Subject pees on a now-dead azalea.
8:10AM: Subject goes back to sleep on bath mat, or in other highly trafficked morning area.
8:30AM: Subject taken for a walk.
9:00AM: Subject begins to whine.
9:15AM: Subject is presented with a puzzle -- a topologically complex object is filled with peanut butter and hidden. Subject drools heavily on scenting the peanut butter. Subject "freaks the fsck out" on being ordered to find the peanut butter. Door quietly closes as observers exit the laboratory. Without direct observation, we can only infer that the peanut butter is consumed by the subject with gusto.
9:17AM: (estimated) Subject goes back to sleep.
1:00PM: Subject is awoken, walked, watered, and re-pees on the azalea.
