I have never questioned that my Master Mouser and Shelter Pup were well above average in intelligence.  Lately, they have been having extended meetings with one another. This morning I found them sleeping together.  How much time do I have before I am locked outside and fed scraps?

Make sure all your doorknobs are the round kind (opposable thumbs required), not the handle kind!

Oh, boy. By the time they're actually sleeping together, your goose is cooked. The question becomes whether they will allow their favorite servant to leave.

Ned, I am afraid the pup (German Shepherd/Border Collie)has enough of a mouth on her to deal with the door.

Carla, that may explain why, collectively, I am never out of their sight.
