Houston, We Have a Problem

This is my spare room, which I've turned into a home office.  It's working out well for me.  Because I didn't spend much time in here before, it's easy for me to be in work mode when I come in and tune out the distractions.



This is my little work corner.  The furniture is make-shift until the insurance company processes my claim and I can get something new.  (The new stuff is going in another room, and then the desk and chair will be moved in here.)  It's pretty tight in this corner, but it works for now.



It's also pretty tight for the White Fluffy Dudes, who have a bunk bed behind the door.
(Cotton was off chasing sunbeams this afternoon)

Tallulah has her own bed, which she uses most of the time.




In other news, an interesting development has been the observation that the balance ball that I sit on always rolls to the far side of the room if it's not wedged under the table.

Yes, I'm aware that this probably means the floor of the bedroom in my six year old house probably slopes.  

No, I don't want to think about it.

The point being, if I'm not seated at the desk, the ball usually rolls over and blocks the door.  The white fluffy dudes can slip around it, but not Tallulah.  Tallulah, for some reason known only to her, is afraid of the ball.  There have been many times during my lunch hour or at the end of my day when I've gotten up and left the room without thinking about it.  Later on, I'll hear a quiet woof, which quickly becomes a large WOOF if I don't respond.

Tallulah Belle Poodle is calling for help because the big, bad balance ball is blocking her in the room.

Somebody, give that dog a haircut!

  1. My floors slope DRAMATICALLY and my house has lasted 115 years, so you'll probably be okay.

  2. LOL That was a funny story and I love the look on Tallulah's face (what I can see of it anyway) "Not funny, Mom."

  3. Poor delicate poodlegirl..
    My dogs tried to use the exercise ball as a toy.
    Didn't work so well (for the ball).

  4. We have floors that do the slope thing. I try not to worry about them. I worry more about the cracks at the windows. It's ok Tah-lu-lah-lu, we all have our fears :)

  5. I love that you have a picture of a bed hanging above the bed.
