I know exactly what you mean, but he seems to have it sussed. I just went in as it's shutting up time, and he's there again, but not his little friend, so I'll wait till it gets dark.
Yeah, I know, I'm a soft old sod when it comes down to it.

We are old softies too. One day we had been staying at the lake, and left our 3 cats out there to make a run home to water orchids, tend to the yard etc. We always head back the same evening so no harm comes to the cats. Well, a bird got into the garage and there was no way it would leave. So we felt we couldn't head back to the lake and leave it for a week before we made our next trip home. So our cats went hungry that night and we stayed home and in the morning with the help of a neighbour and a big fish net, we finally got it out. Geesh, I guess that is where the term bird brain comes from. But whose?? The bird or us

Yeah, they can get in thru a crack, but cant get out thru an open door.

It's chucking it down outside, so I'm glad he has somewhere dry to sleep.
I look at out dogs sleeping - on the sofa no less, in front of the wood burning stove, and I think about the labrador across the road who lives on the end of a chain with a bit of corrugated iron to sleep under, and I really wish I could take them over ad explain just how lucky they are.
