Who Opened the Coop Door?

Noon light showed the coop door a hand-width open — not a storm, not a parade.
Pathway A: wind. Pathway B: hurried human. Pathway C: Cap celebrity chicken heist (frozen).
Spike LOOKED: no wind dance in the dust. A glove print near the latch matched morning hurry.
Suzy counted heads soft — all present. Care first, courtroom second.
Evidence path: morning job unfinished. Close, click, CHECK. Add a reminder stick on the latch.
They did not invent Cap plots. Cap-13 freeze stays respectful and closed.
Thinking Cap habit: animal check before blame. Cap does not magic-solve.
Pavlova looked offended on principle. Little Thunder stayed mahogany-neutral.
Kids: fridge door ajar — check food, then your last snack trip.
Care counts heads. Lead finishes latches.
Curiosity redirected to better morning habits.
Count heads. Click latch. CHECK.
