In the Way Again
“Benji, did anyone ever tell you you’re in the way?”
“Only you Sue,” he said.
“Well it’s true Benji. I’m trying to get some work done. Do you need to be taking a bath right here, right now??”
“Of course I do Sue! Where better? I like to be where you are so it works out pretty well. Plus your desk is dusty. As soon as I jump up, I gotta clean up.”
“Well anyway Benji. You’re in the way. Can’t you find something else to do?”
“Sure Sue!”
“No, not that Benji! Come back with my pencil!”
“Gee Sue, you’re so grouchy today. I’ll just go back outside then if you don’t mind.”
“Yes, Benji, I think it’s for the best. It’s a nice day out there, no reason for you to be inside. Finally I can get some work done!”
“My turn,” said the Tiger.
“Okay, I give up!”

At least Ollie is too big to get on the desk.
Maybe they were trying to tell you something, Susanne?
Best wishes, Pete.
This happens pretty much every day. Benji is a bit more rambunctious about it than Tiger is, but they both demand my attention. Maybe I should get a dog, huh? 😉
I’m biased in favour of dogs of course. 🙂
I won’t hold it against you. 🙂
So cute! I love the picture of Benji on his back with the pencil. 😀🐱🐼👍🏼
Ah thanks! They both like to hang out in my office, but Benji gets into more trouble than Tiger does! 😉
LOL somehow that doesn’t surprise me! 😋
I can relate!
🙂
True, they like to be around.
And then I gave my pen to my cat to play with, and she chewed, then I took it out, and gave her an old toothbrush, he had fun.
Thank you, she said! 🙂
Benji always steals my pencils! Even if I give him his own he wants the one I’m currently using!
Whenever I do some service or I have some tool in my hands my kitty comes up.
“What do you do? I want to help.” she says.
“It could hurt you!” I say.
And I pull her away.
