My dog (well, she is not exactly mine, but I love her as my own), let’s say that I started by dog-sitting for my daughter’s two dogs (a chocolate Labrador called Jubileu and a French bulldog called Troia). Jubileu died of kidney failure 5 years ago and now that Troia is old (15 years) and blind she lives with me, and stays always by my side whether I am working or not. She makes excellent company!

Nope! Jul 15, 2023

I'd love get a real pet some day, but I only got a plush alligator that does not seem to pay attention on me at all. So frustrating.

Nice pet you got there. What processor does it run on?

My dog never fails to remind me that it's time to go out and get a breather instead of trying to valiantly forge ahead. And he's quite right, I come back from the park refreshed and in a better frame of mind, and I'm pretty sure this helps me produce my best work.
While I'm working, he either naps, plays with his toys or sniffs around in the garden.
I do miss having my cat on my lap, keeping me warm in the winter, but she never made me get any exercise.

I got a surprise baby recently. His previous owner left him at a garbage container. I took him home and he helps me with photographing now.

If I knew the owner of that cute little thing, I'd throw that owner in the bin myself.
I can't stand people who hurt animals!
And I agree with Teresa, they make excellent company and are better than some people.
My "tiger" is always near me while I'm working. Even when he's sick, as he has been these past two weeks.
