Some days, being a dog owner is a hilarious thing.
(Okay, almost every day being a dog owner is hilarious, but whatever.)
I haven’t had experience with all of the breeds, obviously, but after 26 years, I can honestly say I have never met dogs like my Boston Terriers.
Sleeping on a pillow on my lap. That pillow was meant for my laptop…
Oscar and Lucy aren’t truly satisfied unless they are somehow touching me.
In fact, sometimes I think they won’t be truly happy until they are somehow living attached to me, or in my skin, or something equally creepy. Like, if I strapped Oscar into a Baby Bjorn? He’d probably be the HAPPIEST EVER.
This can make days I’m working from home very challenging.
Allow me to demonstrate:
“What are you doing?”
“Are you working?”
“Oh, didn’t see you there – are you busy?”
“Why are you working?”
“No, it’s cool. I’m comfortable on your lap. No need to move.”
“Is it cool if I sit right here?”
“Are you working?”
(All photos taken from my LAP.)
And, to further demonstrate, this is them RIGHT NOW:
“We’ll just push this laptop away, NBD.”
I’m struggling to type this on a laptop that is almost falling off the couch because Oscar and Lucy keep shoving it over to get more comfortable.
Lesson learned: Some days, you need to sacrifice a little bit of productivity for puppy cuddles.
It’s always worth it.
(Even if you have to stay up late to meet deadlines after the fact.)
Happy Monday.
