I left the door unlatched on purpose in case #Eddiethetortoise wanted in. He did. He bobbed his head at Charlie the dog to let him know who’s boss, but since Charlie doesn’t speak tortoise, he was therefore—

—not intimidated. Charlie even tried to get Eddie to follow him back outside, but I think Eddie thought he’d chased Charlie out of the house, thus cementing his dominance in the hierarchy. Theirs is a perfect relationship - based on total miscommunication.
