Butters has stayed at Château Punzun many times. And yet, I swear she's getting stranger, starting with this burrowing behavior:

And her engineering:

Why the dog bed needs folding over and rearranging, I have no idea. I keep flattening it after Butters leaves, and she keeps doing this.
Of course, Cassie has opinions about me giving Butters attention:

And Butters is definitely not a morning dog. After showering and getting dressed, with Cassie checking on my progress several times, it took two hands and a gentle nudge with my foot to get Butters off the bed today:

I do appreciate how comfortable Butters seems to be at my house. The first time she stayed over, a few years ago now, she let everyone in the ZIP Code know how upset the turn of events had made her. If you have never encountered an irate beagle, enjoy your good fortune.
Updates as conditions warrant.

Hey, from that first photo, it looks like your father is visiting along with Butters. Or... are you evolving into him? Wow...

Yak, I have looked like this since my dad was my age.
