That old saying .... "boys will be boys", well in our case - our boys aren't just boys, they are back deck boys.
It started innocently enough, Elliott claimed the chair on the back deck as his own. It was cute. It is not a big deal. He's welcome to hang out in that chair any time he likes. Elliott as a member of this family, is entitled to "chair time". Besides, it is kind of nice seeing him snuggled up at night in his chair and there in the morning all comfy curled up and snoozing.
As the days grew warmer, morning and nights stayed noticeably cooler .... Murphy joined him.
Slowly and surely, bit by bit and inch by inch, they have claimed the back deck as theirs .....
Elliott in his chair and Murphy on the deck. Murph spends most of the morning and a better part of the night - crashed out on the deck, we sleep sounder knowing he is on guard; however, not too soundly - we have to be able hear his barks in the wee hours of the morning when he is ready to come in.
Murphy sound asleep
Elliott has his is ears "on", you can bet he isn't missing a thing
Elliott's turn to settle in
Murphy thinks he might have heard something ... maybe?
Oh. Hello. There is someone there. I did hear something.
Kind of comfy, hope you don't mind if I don't get up ....
Murphy back on duty surveying his kingdom
Elliott in his chair, secure, comfortable and thinking about a nap
Hmmm. Something has caught Murphy's attention, not important enough for him to leave his spot on the deck - Elliott is listening / napping / listening
No need to get up.
They are "our back deck boys" ....!!!!
