OMG Logan! Now I have a story to tell you! Not nearly as scary though....

Yesterday evening, we had some friends coming to visit. My dad opened the door and welcomed them in. The dad and daughter came in, while the mother and son were still parking the car, so we left the door open as we waited for them. All of a sudden, we heard barking. I thought nothing of it, thinking it was one of our next door neighbor's pups barking outside. 2 second later, the mom and son come inside, and start saying "OMG! There's a dog in your house!" I rushed to the door, and our neighbor's new puppy, just 3 months old, was INSIDE our house, lying on the entry, begging their little boy for belly rubs. The little boy is afraid of dogs so he started screaming and ran away. I was like this. More than the dog coming in, I was worried about Popcorn and Muffin, because they were playing somewhere in the living room, WHERE THE DOG WAS, and I couldn't find them! I was worried sick. Luckily, the neighbors came and yelled at the puppy, and he went howling, out the door. I looked around for Popcorn and Muffin, and found them peaking from behind the sofa. They saw the dog and went there, and were looking to see if he left. Once he left, they marched out. For some reason they aren't afraid of dogs, but go insane when they see a cat. Thank God it wasn't a cat!

Another lesson. You must be careful, even if the larger animals reside in the neighborhood. Who knows when they might show up. I don't think the dog would've done anything to the birds though, because our neighbors have 2 birds of their own and they are used to them!
