Soon as I go out where Alice is, he's out of his hide, periscoping and gawping around and making a general nuisance of himself.
I suspect his "conversation" would be more along the lines of "Hey you! Leg Thing! Lemme out! There's been a terrible mix up! Somebody has mistaken me for a snake! I'm not..no, really....I'm supposed to be a dog!. Help!"
It works almost every time.
If I don't take him out, he gives up, goes back in his hide and flops his head down on his stone "pillow", emits a huge, over-done "sigh" of dejection and just stares at me, accusingly until I leave the room.
It's so melodramatic.![]()
