No Rest for the Weekend

You ever have one of those weekends where you can't wait to get back to work so you can get some rest? 

Well, as you probably know I go to work during the week with my human.  She works in an office and I am stationed under her desk, ever wary, of course, for people who may get too close to my human.  I spend the day protecting her.  Many days it isn't terribly restful, yet it will seem blissfully calm after this weekend. 

My human and the other person who lives here decided to do some carpentry on Saturday, and the project ran into Sunday.  I don't think they're very good at it, but they make a lot of noise - hammers, saws, pounding things, wrecking things.  I saw them tear down a wall this time!  It never seems like much of an improvement when they do one of their "projects," but the noise they make, why, you can't get away from it!  And you don't want to get in the way, when they get going with something like this, squashed underfoot or bonked with falling debris are definite possiblities.  It was awful, but by Sunday evening the humans ran out of steam or maybe just gave up.  Anyway, they settled down to a quiet Sunday evening with books or movies or something.

Thing is, with the door open to carry the wreckage out, a couple of stinkin' flies came in.  I just hate those critters!  They like to buzz around your ears, you know, and it drives me crazy!  So when I might have had a chance to rest this evening, I had to be chasing flies.

As if that wasn't enough, the church across the street had an "Underground Church" youth activity this evening.  That's where the kids try to get from Point A to Point B without getting caught.  Point B, their destination, was the church across the street from us.  Well, I had to keep my eyes and ears open, so I could bark at goofy kids running and sneaking around in our yard trying to get to the church without being caught.

The kiddies were done early, the humans were done in even earlier, and the flies finally settled down, too.  So now I can get a little rest.

But, woof dah!  It'll be good to get back to work!
