Typist: Bethany
'Tis morning in Cascadia, ready to work All around me the pets will casually lurk. Black coffee, black laptop and telephone are near Before sitting on the couch, black fur I must clear. And white fur, grey fur, brown too; my task never ends But it's worth it to work next to all my best friends. The light as my laptop turns on almost dreamy Sipping slow my coffee for it is still steamy. The dogs have been walked, with the cat I have played All the pets have been fed and the beds have been made. As Leo's black beak munches breakfast from behind All pets settle as I begin my daily grind. When out on the porch, human foot steps can be heard All rush to the door loudly except for the bird. As dogs bark, cat meows, a fur storm at the door Leo shouts "hello" until I can hear no more. All that ruckus was made for just one tiny box Delivered midst loud barking, meowing and squawks. Calming all the pets with a plethora of treats We can settle back in to our working time seats. Three dog's black noses on the couch peacefully sigh A pink cat nose covered warmly to sleep near by. Cockatoo Leo is back to filling his crop I again begin working at my black laptop. My ears ringing from the box delivery attack My much colder coffee not as tasty this black. I would not have my work be any other way Even loudly, pets always mean "have a nice day!"
Even if you don't work from home, how do your pets "help" you get the job done?

Bethany - No need to post this, but I thought you might enjoy my take on pets and working from home.
