Pro-Choice

Since EDub and PDub never bothered to learn English or write little signs describing what exactly their beef was with me, it appears that the protests and death threats from the Little Backyard were centered around the fact that they did not have the freedom of choice to get on the patio. Since I opened up the little area for them to walk up to the patio they have been calmer and despite the fact that it has been raining for nearly 24 hours straight these guys have spent nearly 100% of that time sitting out in the rain or swimming in the rain, or walking around in the rain. I guess they just want the option to get on the patio.

But because of the 24 hours (and continuing) of rain the rest of the members of the Pack have been reluctant to exit the building, except Earl who protested at 4:00am and wouldn't come back in and who is still wet after enduring a few hours out there. I, too, am reluctant to leave the building, but that's really because as of late, I would prefer to never leave the house ever. If I could figure out how to get someone to go buy my groceries for me I probably would never leave the house again. All this means is that now Mischief is confined to the interior of the household and unless all animals are in the same room with me, I must do a Michief check every 30 seconds to make sure that they are not tearing shit up, which the last check just revealed Earl nibbling on a pillow case, which now has all members without thumbs banned from my bedroom.
