How does anyone get along with a dog in the house, who uses up so much attention so much of the time? An older dog would sleep a great deal, but Naia, just older than a puppy, leaves me quite afraid I'll upset or hurt her just by having my mind on anything else for too long. After being away at work yesterday for four hours, and later at aikido for almost two, she all but burst with excitement when I returned home. That's less than a whole work day that I've been gone.
I didn't sleep terrifically, with Naia making various noises in pursuit of some kind of attention and later one or both of the cats repeatedly invading the bed — here at C—'s place the pets are not allowed on much of the furniture, including the beds.
I did a little flute practice this morning, for the first time in months and months. I will keep doing so the first time I let the dog out of the house into the back yard in the morning; none of the pets like the sound, but the kitties can get away into quiet spots downstairs, while the dog hasn't much of anywhere to go.
