Sometimes she just doesn't get it...

The lady of the house can be a bit slow to figure out stuff sometimes. Like, when she needs to really stop anything else she is doing, and concentrate on me instead. When I need my lap time, she needs to sit somewhere as still as possible, so that she wouldn't disturb my sleep. She shouldn't even surf the web at the same time, it affects the quality of my sleep even though she doesn't understand that. This is what happened the other day.

 
She was surfing the web when I decided it was time for a nap on her lap. I got a comfortable position, and tried to rest my head on her wrist.

 
I would say my message was quite obvious: STOP SURFING AND DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, BE MY PILLOW!

 
But no, she just carried on. You can imagine how uncomfortable I was there, while she was scrolling and clicking with that hand that I really needed as my pillow! AND; could you believe her guts: she was checking out some cheap flights! As if she would be going anywhere! I haven't granted any vacation for her! She can't just go and book a holiday without consulting me first! She should know by now that the vacation process requires careful planning and finding a trustworthy and good caretaker for me while they plan to be away. She should ALWAYS consult me first! 

 
Well, finally something in her slow brain clicked, and she got her priorities straight. This was much better. Nap on her lap with some nice scritches. Bliss.
 
(She might get her vacation after all, sometimes I might be a bit too quick to judge...)

    It is just so difficult to get good staff, says Helmi.

      Mine too, and she can't be writing my blog all the time, I can't understand what else would be important in there.

    Humans are slow learners, aren't they, Carlos?

    Us humans can be hard to train. At least that's what all the dogs and cats are saying anyways!

    We require a vacation request be filled out (in triplicate!) at least six months in advance.

    In our dreams, that is...*sigh*

    Thanks for dropping by!
