I often leave the back door open during the mornings & Dudley has recently figured out how to climb the step up into the house. The first time he came in I got some him some treats from the kitchen & now he associates the kitchen with tasty treats. If the door is closed He will attempt to plow through the door

Wait a few more years and he won't attempt to plow the door over, he will!
Adorable sully and love the pics. He does look a little put off being put to his own house. Pay backs a, you know how it goes, I'd trend lightly with one eye on him always. LOL

Alice goes through curtains and screens and up big ramps. Dudley should be able to figure out "outside" and "inside". You may think about a screen to keep the bugs out and yet allow Dudley's freedom.

Is that a heated cat bed you have there?

Ah! That's neat! I may need to look into one for Oliver! I didn't know they made heated cat beds!

Cautions

Consult your veterinarian before use with young puppies/kittens, convalescent pets, during surgery/surgery recovery, or any animal that cannot voluntarily remove themselves from the heated pad.
