WFH - What’s the Big Deal?

Watching for the suspicious mailman or Amazon delivery person

Dear Mr. Pants:

For the last several months my humans have been home A LOT. They spend a lot of time at the desk or kitchen table (with no food visible I might add) working on their computers. Sometimes they even talk to people on the computer! I don’t like that because they put me in another room just because I want to join in the conversation as well. While I do enjoy having them at home, sometimes I miss having the house all to myself. They complain about “working from home” but isn’t that what dogs do every day?

Dear Peeved:

Isn’t that the truth? What do humans think we do all day when they are not at home? Who do you think watches the house and protects it from the mailman or all those delivery people? How do we know that one day instead of leaving stuff, they aren’t going to take something? Do they know how dangerous those squirrels are as they plan an attack on the bird feeder? What about the forces within the house - like this Roomba? It could easily suck in treats. And most importantly - who protects the bed? It is very hard work, pretending to be asleep while secretly keeping an eye or ear out for intruders.

So Peeved, I guess we have to think of ourselves as a special security force. One that remains undercover (or covers if you are talking about the bed) until dangers arise. Then the humans will finally understand what “working from home” really means.

Keep up the good work,

Mr. Smart T Pants
