(Post from Telfer): Andrea mentioned several posts back the fact that the area she grew up was referred to as the “triangle of death” in a book she read. Well there has developed in the past few months another triangle of death of sorts closer to our current home. Henry has taken to a new “perch” in the backyard. He sits alert at the apex of the triangle from which he can conveniently look out through the fence at the alley and the neighbors cats and can also look out through the fence to the left at passersby in the alley and our nice neighbor hanging laundry on the line. Furthermore he can listen for suspicious disturbances originating from the front of the house and run to either side to investigate (ie. bark). Pretty cute. And don’t worry, this diagram didn’t take me long to draw and no, I don’t have too much free time on my hands.
