Ok, I think Mr. Scaredy Pants is over his phobia. He's been going in and OUT all day. Which is wonderful! Of course, tonight it was drizzling, so Button decided that, rather than get his paws wet, he would p--p in the sunroom. I caught him in the act and chased him out the dog door. I never saw 63 pounds get thru an opening that small, that fast in my life. :lol: Soooo, (this is where it gets good) as I was shutting the door after depositing the p--p bag in the trash, something flew by my face and into the house. I thought it was a bat! A small sparrow actually brushed my chin with his wings as he flew in the front door. He flew all around, lighting on various objects, and up into our vaulted ceilings, clung to the brickwork over the fireplace and generally looked terrified as the dogs circled, looking puzzled. I cut off all the lights in the house, and opened the sunroom door and turned on the deck light. He finally flew out on his own, but I was totally freaked out! I think I've had enough of the Wild Kingdom today! I actually got so freaked out that I prayed for the superstitious thoughts to leave my mind.
I think I need to see pictures of cute Bassets . . . :blink:
