Dear Diary,

So Bored today Diary. Yawn. Soooo bored.

Well it all started with the icky poo poo weather. It is rainy and sticky and let's just say that I hate to get my hair wet so as soon as I stepped outside, I didn't bother to walk to a patch of grass. Grabbed the first pole (or was it a tree), lifted the leg and was off to the front door.

Mommy decided to work from home today. Yes, I know, nothing ordinarily different than each week -- except for the fact that she actually WORKED.
::: GASP::: I know! Could you imagine!?

I know this is going to come as a shock and hopfully you are sitting down for this.... hold on, because I need to. OK, well mommy did NOT take enough time to play with me! :: gasp :: She only took 3 of the 10 hours to dedicate to me! I mean I sat there staring up at her while she typed on that computer to her work and I made it a point to just sit and stare. I mean, doesnt she realize that they will never care about the point she has to make as much as ME? So... when she would look down I would just give her a mad look! Mommy (of course) found this to be cute so she tried talking in that squeeky annoying voice--- but I was not amused. No I wasn't. I had to take things into my own paws and went into my toy bin dragging every toy imaginable and placing them all around her chair. She didn't even notice until she stood up and tripped on my toys. She set off Mr. Gorilla and lil'piggy's sounds.

So what is a dog to do? I sat, I stared, I slept, I sat again, I stared and of course... I slept. Eventually I knew a walk time would come but everytime we would open the door in front, I would see the weather and mommy called me "moody" because I didn't want to walk! The nerve!

During the day Mommy would get those sudden urges to play with me, but frankly diary, she bored me to tear stains so much that I became utterly exhausted!

I decided to try a different approach... decided each time mommy would go ack to her desk I would constantly try to get on her lap. Then when I made it up there with my sad eyes and kisses on her big toe, I would lay across her arms. This allowed her not to type and me to kiss her arm playing off her mommy guilt. Yeah, that worked for a bit until I was under tummy kiss attack and would try to run for my life.

Eventually in time mommy gave up the computer stuff and hung out with me. So... I got a few tomatoes, and a greenie, and a few cookies and a couple of walks, not to mention breakfast and dinner and a nice brushing... BUT it's not enough! I want her constant, every minute of her day, attention! Who needs work!? It's all about play!

Mommy sys that she is working from home again tomorrow. Hmm. I need to think a bit strategic and creatively about how to annoy her the whole day. What do you think Diary --- farting or burping then looking up as she looks at me with that icky face... or maybe chewing on her flip flops! Yeah, these should do it!

Arf! ARF!!
