Because I hate cleaning muddy paws and the dogs get cabin (er...crate) fever! No one likes the rain now -- Sonny was the only one who would fight to stay out in it. Skye pouts, Lexi huddles under the tree, Cloud & Rainy...well, they do their own thing, but when it's time to come in, you better have the door open! Work is going absolutely, positively, awesome! I LOVE my new position. I have just the right amount of work, a ton of responsibilities, and from what I've heard (both direct and word-of-mouth feedback...) the managers and associates love that I am the new MA. The office required a ton of clean up and I'm still reorganizing things, including moving certain file cabinets in and out, shredding files, etc.
We have two new tiny additions to the house. They're not named, yet - but - they are finches. A society and a zebra. Totally adorable and have the cutest little noises. The dogs have stopped bugging them as much -- the cat is a different story....which leads me to this...
The first night we brought them home, we had bought a temporary cage until I could locate a big flight cage for them. Well, we set the temp cage on top of one of the smaller curio cabinets we have. Lizzie jumped up on the TV stand and was watching the birds. Next thing we know, she takes a flying leap at the cage, grabs onto the side, knocks the cage to the floor...and somehow throughout this whole series...the cage doors fly open and the birds are loose in the house. Robby grabbed Lizzie, I grabbed Skye (who was trying to catch the birds...) We got Skye put outside to keep her out of the way. In the mean time, the birds are flying around the kitchen and dining room (which is where the dog crates are...since it's right next to the back door.) They sit on Lexi's crate, fly INTO Cloud's crate...and let me tell you...I am SOOOOO glad my dogs know and respect "Leave It." Robby and I both shouted it at the same time when we saw what the birds were doing - so the dogs just sat back in their crates and wouldn't even look at the birds. The society was easy to catch, but the zebra took some work. We finally found him hiding behind the fridge! Luckily not 48 hours later, I had found a flight cage. So we got them transferred there. They are so happy in it! And there's no chance of the cat letting them out again. =)

An update! I'm so happy! Kidding aside, I'm thrilled to hear that you love your job and that you are hearing positive feedback about being in the position. The flight cage looks like the perfect habitat for the finches, I'm glad you were able to find it so quickly.
