Our pets hate it when we bring our work home. While we are home, they expect us to give them all our time and play with them endlessly. We have been doing it forever. But since the COVID-19 pandemic hit our doors, things have changed. We are always working on our laptops and we never get time to play with our babies. Working remotely can be a messy thing when your pet is a big attention seeker and cannot spend more than an hour without you. No matter how many times we try to explain it to them in our human language that we are busy, they do not understand. In these times you wish there was a translator who would explain to our furry animals what we mean in their animal language.<\/p>\n

You would find them peaking from the edge of the table with their cute little eyes or you would find them sleeping on your keyboard. They have their ways to keep you from working! It makes sense. Home is for fun and play, not work!<\/p>\n

I relate to all these pictures! It is reminding me of all the times when my cat walked in front of my laptop’s screen or slept on the top of the keyboard. The annoyance of our pets is always visible on their faces. How do we tell them that we feel bad for ignoring them too? There is nothing we want more than playing with them, but someone has to pay the bills. How else are we going to pay for their expensive treats?<\/p>\n
