at meals.

The table abuts the window which looks out on one of the bushes the sparrows, etc. live in. It is their favorite hangout. I have a large table for 8 so they stay at their(?) end. LOL

If I have company they split for parts unknown while anyone is here. When I eat if either of them considers jumping up I smack the table and they are gone.

Kitty is always in my face when I test my BS, etc. I have to shoo her away after we rub noses. LOL

Otherwise no problems except for Soli being black is invisible at night and cloudy days. I trip over him often. Otherwise no general problems.

But they gang up with Charlie and Chance at meal times. It gets so noisy even the neighbors and folks on the phone with me know what is going on. In fact Charlie has taken to barking when I talk to Naylz and my Ca friend. They talk back to him. I have a weird dog and friends. LOL

It's 10:55am and Charlie gets his lunch at noon and then we walk. He has been putting his paw on my thigh as I post this. I have him "down" and so he is waiting but he has his eye on me. LOL
