  I work an 8 hour office job but out of my own home.....so my baby is with me all the time.  I have a large reading chair that butts against my desk.  Cooper comes up and talks to me and lays on the back of the chair.  And when he gets bored will walk right up on my desk and try to still my pens (his way of saying enough already take a break).  One thing that has worked wonders for me is when I have conference calls to keep him busy/quite is give him his kong with his other toys.  That way he is still in the same room with me but the kong filled with his treat will keep him busy while I am on a conference call and no barking.  |
