For whatever reason, Nico has become increasingly disinterested in spending time outside. I think it was a combination of the bugs destroying him early in the season and the rain over the past month. It is kind of funny to watch him, though. He’ll bound away from our patio, stop at a random spot, and stay planted there as he looks around. If a dog barks or something exciting draws his attention, he’ll run off; otherwise, he stays in one spot.
