We've created a monster...

The hounds seem to have enjoyed the SCA business meeting Friday night: there were lots of new people to sniff, most of whom scritched them and told them they were beautiful and well-behaved. And I thought that was that...

Saturday night shalmestere was sitting on the couch folding laundry while watching old Saturday Night Live sketches. In one of the sketches, a doorbell rang -- and both hounds jumped off their beds, woofed, and headed for the door. They've never done this before, but the next time a doorbell rang on the TV, they did it again.

I guess we now have watchdogs, who will let us know if a burglar is so considerate as to ring the doorbell before coming in.
