The dogs like it because they can run around the yard without supervision and they think this is their house and make themselves at home. This means they are running in and out if they see a ground squirrel out back and bark if anyone nears the house then they jump up on the sofa and snuggle with us, then back to the window to look out.
Buddy the Cat gracefully retires to the bedroom when they come - he learned who was in charge when the Horribles visit.

The funniest thing is when they leave and one of them bites the door frame on the way out because he is so excited to get to ride in the car.
I loved your post, cute story. I hope the cat has assumed it's place as the pet in charge.
