[Dailydrool] Working from Home with a Basset

[Rebecca Louise Stanton]

1  Settle basset on the sofa.  Make sure he is comfortable with cushion under head etc.  Then go to your side of the sofa and set up your laptop with headphones etc.  Start to type.
 
2  Notice basset has got wind and try to ignore.  Blink a few times to stop yourself passing out from the smog.  Try to ignore the faint whine that has set in from the basset's side of the sofa.
 
3  Whine has become increasingly high in pitch, culminating in basset getting up and heading for outside.  Stop dictation, take headphones off, move laptop.  Let basset out in the garden.  
 
4  Go back to the door in a few minutes to find basset wagging tail gaily at you and refusing to come in.  Resist urge to throttle.   Finally offer a piece of bacon to get him in from the garden, trying to ignore the icy blast from the zero temperatures outside.  Attend to basset's ears which are drenched from outside.
 
5  Put basset back on the sofa, who decides he wants to sit where you have been sitting.  Unplug laptop and haul it round to the other side, muttering expletives all the while.  
 
6  Basset is snoozing happily.  Start typing.  Until the next interruption :))
