Barley, a dog, sniffs at the base of a mossy decorative yard stone.

It’s a real blessing that Barley sees the world around her as, in almost all particulars, immutable. In the video game of Barley’s life, all level geometry is static and non-destructible! And thank heavens, because it means I can leave her in my office or at home when I need to and there’s no fear of returning to find a pillow torn to pieces, or a yard full of holes. Even doors, which she clearly understands afford some passage, are seen as largely beyond her control, opening only by the magic of human manipulation. Pretty sure this pup’s going to reach the level exit with SECRET: 0%.
