Take Your Dog To Work

At the moment, Herself is away from home – she’s up in Grantham somewhere from yesterday morning through ’til Wednesday evening. The only problem with this is that it leaves Hound in a bit of a state, and she turns into a complete fanny when it’s time for me to leave the house.

This morning, for instance, she accompanied me everywhere, and wouldn’t leave my side. Which is quite nice in a way – if nothing else it shows that she’s accepted me as a pack leader etc., but it’s also a pain in the backside when trying to get ready for work.

Anyway, there was no chance I’d be able to get out of the house without Her Ladyship either a) throwing a fit or b) getting all anxious and nippy, so she got put in the car as well, and has come to the office for the day.

She’ll stay in the car (yes, the windows are open for fresh air – and fuck it, it’s October anyway) and will be taken out for a walk at lunchtime as well as a quick squat at some point, and she’ll be happy. More importantly, she’ll just sleep – I know what she’s like, and that’s normal dog behaviour anyway – but won’t be stressing at home, or annoying the cat.

I suspect the same will happen tomorrow too, but then normality should return. Let’s hope, anyway.
