I just had a series of events that was pure chaos:
- Fedex shows up with the chicken food a day early
- I make Juniper sit and wait behind me at the door, something she is just terrible at despite constant training.
- I have to make her back up and reset her wait several times because she knows there's someone here and she has to do Something About That
- I open the door, Fedex guy is setting the box on the porch for his proof of life photo
- Willow comes running up out of nowhere, having flown the coop (The Tubby), to investigate
- Both of the roommates cats are sitting at the table
- One of the cats comes running up to Willow
- Cats have bacteria that is super deadly to birds
- The door is still open and Juniper is barely containing her excitement.
- Cat is coming fast, I scoop up Willow without time to even shut the door.
- As I go to put her back in the Tubby and it turns out her partner in crime has also escaped. I shove them both back in and latch the tubby back up.
- Juniper is on the porch now barking at the fedex guy, he's pushed the package into the house, the cats are considering joining her
- I push the 50lbs of chicken food further into the house so I can shut the door, the Fedex guy tells Juniper to go inside, as do I, she listens
- Just 5 animals working together to make my life as hard as possible
Bonus:
- When I went to go feed the outside chickens someone licked Baby Yellow's food bowl clean. Given her lack of a functional tongue, I suspect it wasn't her
