Early this morning, before the sun was rising ...
... this is what I saw when I stumbled half-asleep from my bedroom into the living room (please forgive the bad photo quality, just grabbed the camera and had no time to set the flash).

Bob then moved from his station by my bedroom door and went in his crate. Miss Ebby was not impressed.

btw, that crate pad is atop the crate for practical reasons, snow, & now rain, makes for very muddy paws. I'll put it back when the weather shows signs of drying somewhat.
