Alonso is back with his keepers. We keep whistling the theme from the Great Escape.

After another 3 days and nights here, Alonso was taken home yesterday.
Overnight the winds from Storm Nils gave this place a battering. I woke up at just after 4am, convinced I'd heard a bark at the door. I got up to check, but I must have dreamt it so I went back to bed. I knew he'd be hating this storm.
Alonso actually arrived just after dawn, soaked, muddy, and whimpering. He was so worked up he retched a couple of times. Poor boy!
Took a while to get him dry and calm again. He's asleep on my lap now.
I think he deserves a cooked breakfast after that.

Alonso wandered off home yesterday when we took him to the woods. He always looks back to see if we're going to follow, before trotting off on his own.
Today it has been snowing. This has never stopped him before. We're keeping an ear out.

He's a bit damp, and rather cold, but Alonso is here.
I sat down to do some coding, thinking how unusual it is to do this without Alonso (he went home yesterday).
I put my headphone on and 8 minutes later he's here. 😃 🎧 🐶
Back to business as usual.
I opened the door to let Alonso outside.
He stood in the doorway, carefully considered the pouring rain for a while, barked loudly at the weather, and turned and went back inside.
I'll take that as a "no".

Alonso's owners collected him on Friday afternoon and dropped off some more food for him.
He was gone all weekend, which felt very strange. We've really become used to his constant presence and involvement in everything we do.
But, Alonso is here now, so normality can return. I think we might do some multicast.
@dentangle Where exactly is the tipping point in terms of where Alonso actually lives?
I suspect it was quite some time ago, really. He's evidently very comfy and well loved when he's with you.
@greem He pretty much has the run of both places. His owners love Alonso very much, but we work from home so we're always here and he wants to be where people are. He does go home of his own accord sometimes, but usually returns again if they're not home.
