I had standard poodles (four of them, one after the other, last two were rescues) before this, and I thought THEY were loud. (And they are. Beautiful, goofy, high energy dogs that just love being with people, but very vocal, especially when excited or bored.) Murphy looks so much like my late pups, though all my standards were white (though the last one, my real rough-start rescue boy, had quite a lot of ginger highlights in his coat).
I just can't see someone in the dead of night walking around the house and up the hill in the dark with their arms full of paper bags of food to get to the sliding door. There was snow here and there on the ground, no path... it's just a slip and fall waiting to happen. Down you go, crash, wet, muddy, spoiled food, and you might have turned your ankle into the bargain.
I can't see Xana wanting him to bang on the front door at 4am either, though, with her housemate sleeping right there. If she got a message 'food's here' though, and went down quickly and quietly, opened the door, took the food, thanked the driver, then went back up the stairs to the kitchen, I can see that. I know when I've ordered KFC delivery out here, the driver will often text me when they park outside my house.
