Continued Sleeping Arrangement Changes And Surprises

We continue to settle in.  For the animals, sleeping is an important part of their day.  Here are a few shots:

 Here is Jinxie enjoying Peg's new Lazy Girl chair.  She spends several hours every evening listening to TV and relaxing.

 Aggie hangs out in a cat basket.  It is unusual to find her here during the warm months, but sometimes she likes to crawl in for some wrap-around comfort.

 No one will ever find Aggie here!  If she can't see you, you can't see her!
Beulah continues to challenge the the limits of the sleeping arrangements.  I have found her on every piece of furniture in the house.  She is getting wise enough to jump off when she hears me coming!

Perhaps the most challenging issue I have been dealing with is the dogs running off.  Here Beulah is planning her next escape.  On her last adventure, she disappeared for about an hour and returned with a hind quarter of a large deer.  Not acceptable!  (You can see she is pretty pleased with herself!)

Another issue:  the sun goes down and every shadow and cricket/insect noise gets barked and howled at.  The barking will go on and on.  I have gotten up in the middle of the night to find one or both dogs sitting in the doggie confinement area just barking for the sake of barking.  I am not pleased to say the least!  Other nights, both dogs will sleep all night and not make a sound.  Who knows what motivates their behavior!  Now I am not totally out of it.  When the pack of coyotes comes running through the pasture howling and yapping, that's a good barking/howling opportunity.  If I was a dog, I would bark too!
