As we all continue to deal with the economy and the individual stresses and problems in our lives, I’ve come to realize that there are also many wonderful or funny things which happen to us each and every day. Katie is our 6 Month old Lab Puppy, she is smart and sweet, but like all puppies, she is curious about everything…
April 9, 2010
11:00am: It’s raining this morning. As I sit at my computer, Katie, our 6 month old yellow Labrador Retriever has just come in with Richard from outside. Like a 45lb Tornado, she has proceeded to knock over everything within reach — be right back.
11:20am: Office now back in order, Katie is roaming the house, completing her daily inspection. The house is much too quiet —be right back.
11:25am: Cat litter box is now in a location where she can’t get to it. She is now here with me in my office. I’ve closed the door so she’ll stay put where I can watch her.
11:30am: Put trash can up on chair so she can’t shred papers. Picked up cat food too, before she located it. Back to work. Today is the day I check inventory for our online business (www.petfoodauthority.com).
11:45am: Trash can now on top of filing cabinet. Inventory almost done, updates to website in progress.
12:00pm: Took shoe away from Katie, replaced it with her favorite toy. Hopefully she’ll settle down now for a bit so I can get some work done. Inventory is nearly finished and I’ve still got a fairly long “To Do” List.
12:05pm: Let cat out of office, picked up pens.
12:15: Couldn’t catch the plant before Katie pushed it off my desk. Picked up plant (which now needs to be re-potted) and vacuumed floor.
12:30pm: Printed Inventory Documents - raced Katie to the printer, succeeded in grabbing documents before she could steal them off the printer!
12:55pm: All is quiet now, except for a little snoring now and again. Katie is napping and I’ve got about 20 minutes to get 8 hours of work done…gotta go!
