Aren't you glad?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXXV)
What? In the warming light of dawn where frail
Hopes of was't rest? fade in the day's more intense
Note night is oer? Come, having mulled fr'intents
Just how we'd 'void last week's fiasco, hail
A catnap in the lack of tea's detail
Or coffee, like a sent'nal by from thence
That question called "the screen door," cuz defense
Was NOT the couch nor could that, erm, avail.
Yes, Tigger must attack me on in tour
The couch, til I give up. Duvet to do
Both comfort and protection good, deter
Their follies, finding laundry is oerdue.
I've slept in it six years sans washing?! Were
There hope, oh LORD, I wait on Thee anew.

They were terrified once out in the wild and woolly real world, taking refuge not in trees nor bushes, but rather...in an enormous pickup, finding its huge bumper the perfect hiding place. Ergo, I guarded the screen door ****** this time, a week later.
