My dog won’t let me blog

I’ve been sitting here trying to write this blog for some time now but every time I look at the computer screen, my puppy “talks” to me. (For those unfamiliar with this blog talk = whine)

He jumps up and rests his head on the arm of the chair and looks at me with those big soulful eyes.

“What?” I say.

He of course doesn’t respond. If he did I might be worried. He just looks at me, happy to be the center of attention. So I go back to typing. Whimper.

“Whaaaat? What do you want?”

Nothing.

Type, type, type… Whimper.

Now he has his rope in his mouth. Ah ha! I understand the “talking.” It’s play time. Basically the whimper means “Play with meeeeeeeeeee.” and I’m not going to get anything done until I spend some quality time with the puppy. Off I go to entertain the dog.

I’m back. I’m pooped, he’s pooped and sleeping next to me on his new bed (I did eventually make it to Kmart.)

You know, one of my friends is often having to drop things because she has two little kids, a three year old and an infant. That I can understand. I never thought having a puppy would put me in the same circumstances. “No, I don’t breast feed, I play tug-a-war with a lapdog.”

Sheeeeeeesh!

    Hey! Just returning the visit…been for a quick peruse through archives, added you to my rss feed and blogroll and realised that I think if we sat down and had a cuppa, it would probably be a bit of fun!!
    I used to live in Perth a few years back. Loved it. Especially Fremantle. Best place I ever lived in over there was East Fremantle. Just gorgeous!
    Anyway, I’ll be off for now….seeya round!
    Cheers, Kelly

    I can really relate to this. I love the last line. I don’t breastfeed, I play tug of war. LOL!

    Thanks for the comment!

    Man, I wish my dog was as affectionate as yours. I’m usually the one with the rope toy, nudging her hopefully. Only she’s very skilled in ignoring me.

    Wow I miss her… Such a sucker for torture.
