Rainy Days

I'm working from home today and have been in my "home office" (the dining room table) since just after 8. I really enjoy working from home. My wardrobe requires less thinking (woolly socks or fuzzy slippers?) and most importantly I don't waste two hours of my life commuting.

What's entertaining me this morning are the pooches. Does anyone else refer to their dogs as pooches? Or poochies? No? Just me and Mr. Eucalyptus Tree? Well, if you met them you might feel the urge to call them pooches or poochies too. Anyway, one of our sweet pooches, Max, is still upstairs in bed. He got up to eat at 7 (he's a beagle-mutt - skipping a meal is out of the question), but immediately after eating he crawled back into bed and hasn't moved since then. I can hear him snoring from our dining room. Our other poochie, a sweet 9 month old yellow lab mix (we call her a pygmy lab, because she looks just like a full grown lab but in miniature size), has been wandering around quietly entertaining herself while I work.

Who could ask for better office mates?
