Yesterday I woke up very sick to the point I couldn’t make it to the office. This is a rarity for me, because I really do love my job. That said, I figured Toby would be happy I was home with him.
Boy, was I wrong. Like we all do, he must have his little routine he does when I leave in the morning, and I was obviously not fitting into his plan.
It started with me getting back into bed. First, I found him sprawled across my pillow. Once I moved him, he decided to continuously push all 12 pounds of him against me until I finally moved over. By the time he was done, Toby owned most of my bed and I was left sleeping on a little sliver of it. Really, little dog?
Once I finally woke back up, I went downstairs to make some tea to sooth my stomach and all he wanted to do was play with Kong. He kept dropping it at my feet, and the more I told him “no” the more all he wanted to do was play. So, instead he decided to go poop by the door — twice. (this was after I had already taken him out)
Tea in hand, I had to jump on the computer to do some work. Boy was Toby not happy. He sat there barking and begging at me until I finally gave in and picked him up. Would he sit on my lap like a dog? Of course not! Instead he decided he had to sit with his paws on my hand while I was typing.
What a silly little boy! And, very eventful day for someone who was not feeling well at all.
I love how you mentioned that your being home didn't fit into Toby's "routine"…we should all install video cameras so we can observe what our fur babies do while we are away.
I don't love that you were sick and I certainly hope you are feeling much, much better!

A video camera would be an excellent idea! And, thanks, I am feeling much better. 🙂
