The Betrayer

Sometimes when I’m working at home I’ll close the door to my office with Brenda inside. This way, if Ben is home, she can be free though can’t get to him and keeps me company.

She usually naps on my bed, which is about 30 inches behind my desk. She’ll occasionally perch at the foot of it and lean over to nibble on my hair. I usually turn my head to give her a little kiss and she runs around the bed in a glorious frenzy before flopping down to stare at me some more.

When I let Porter and Sadie back in the room Brenda looks at me as if I’ve betrayed some secret code between the two of us. She pouts in the corner until that gets boring and then competes with the other two dogs for my attention.

My work time ends there.
