Typhoon Shortcut

Our Little Prince may have outdone himself now by figuring out the ultimate Typhoon shortcut (much to the exasperation of the Hu-Dad.

Let's go, Hu-Dad, open the door.
Let’s go, Hu-Dad, open the door.

Last week, in a post titled Hurricane Typhoon, we mentioned how His Haughtiness exited the house through the kitchen and then demanded to re-enter the house through the bedroom.

The door to the “Junior” deck is off the kitchen while the door to the “Senior” deck is off the bedroom on the opposite end of the house. The gate that connected the two sides of the yard is at the bottom of Sibe Quentin and is now open around the clock (we used to close it when the Seniors wanted some peace and quiet from the bouncy Juniors). Typhoon has figured out that he can exit the house from the kitchen, walk along the perimeter of the fence, and then re-enter the house in the bedroom.

I don't come in without a treat though, no matter which door.

But, he has also figured out that going from the Junior Deck to the Senior Deck via the yard requires walking all the way to the end of the yard, through the gate, and back up. Cutting through the house is much faster (unless the humans are slow on the door). So, yes, the other day, Typhoon knocked on the bedroom door, received his treat for coming inside, and then ran through the house to the kitchen door and immediately asked to go outside.

Yes, that was much faster than going through the yard. A new Typhoon shortcut!

    Never met a Sibe that wouldn’t think of a clever way to get a treat!
