I was putting together a pantry for Petal's treats/clothes–& of course she HAD to be involved (grinning) On the boards:

Next to the screws, playing with her toys and chewies:

And of course trying to chew the screwdriver–and my hand–as I worked.

I found it funny, enjoyed it, even though it took a lot longer to put together the pantry. But the good feeling was worth it.

I'm surprised Petal doesn't try to be involved when I write! But thankfully, she either sleeps beside me on the couch when I type in changes to my manuscripts, or often lies on me while I actually edit and rewrite (by hand). I'm glad she's not walking all over my keyboard like my 21-year-old cat, Amazon, used to!

Actually–I think Petal IS helping me by resting near me as I work. It's comforting and lovely. And Amazon purring while I work is also a delight.

How do your pets help you or try to get involved (get your attention) while you work?

(For those of you who don't know, Petal is my new little puppy–a hairless Chinese Crested (though she's called a hairy hairless, because she has a bit of hair down her back, though none on her belly or sides. I think she is adorable.). She is 15 weeks' old this week.)
