Earthquake vs. Terrier
I made reference to this in Gida’s Holiday Wishlist, but my Boston devil tore apart her bed once. A reference like that is really nothing without imagery; so, here she is with the evidence, looking positively Satanic.
There was a small earthquake that day while we were at work. Jeff arrived home to find this in the bedroom, which functions as a giant crate while we’re gone for the day. Having forgotten about the earthquake already — blasé Californians! — we thought she just had a bad spot of anxiety.
Oh, right.
I was immediately sorry and sad for her. Did she try to bolt? Did she feel it ahead of time? This is why we need to Skype with our pets during the workday! This is also why we need to be prepared for natural disasters.
And if she was angling for this Versailles-inspired dog bed — which would set me back 4,500 big ones — she’s still outta luck.
Ahhh poor thing! On the subject of Skyping with your pets during the work day, for Christmas, my boyfriend and brother got me a webcam and set it up so that I can FaceTime my two dogs and cat from my iPhone, iPad, or laptop. I dial in and our home computer answers automatically, turning on the webcam. The animals basically sleep all day, but it’s fun to call them anyway. I hope it never comes to this, but I suppose it would also be useful in the event of an emergency.
The webcam is a Logitech C270 HD webcam, which is currently on sale for $32 at Amazon.com, and I blogged about it here: http://overbudgetpet.blogspot.com/2011/12/4000-animal-cam.html
Oh, and that canopy dog bed is a-mazing.
That is a great idea! Will let you know how it turns out!
