I think I'm getting a bit stressed out from work and may be taking it out on Harley. I totally love him to death, but it seems like he's really getting on my nerves a lot lately.

It's extremely cold out here lately, so I can't get him out for walks, even with his coat I feel like it's too cold, usually he's good in the house, and we've been going to dog class twice a week instead of only once. I do agility with him in our livingroom for 20-30 min per day. Plus we let him tear around the apartment in the evenings.

So anyways, I have the privilege of getting to work from home, but sometimes Harley just totally wont stop bothering me when I'm on my computer marking papers, that I have to kick him out of the room. I feel bad cause I know he misses me and wants to play, but I can't tolerate him jumping on the keyboard when I'm marking papers that are already stressing me out.

I feel like such a bad mommie for booting him out of the bedroom when I'm working, but if I keep him in there I just get short tempered and growl at him. I know it's likely that he can't help his licking habits (another thread) cause it's likely allergies. I know he pretends to want to cuddle, but I know his temperament if I let him on me he's gonna jump and play, he's not a cuddly doggie. Also the bf tends to leave his crap around the bedroom, like socks and clothes. He does a decent job of cleaning, but Harley really likes to get into laundry, and I've told the bf if he leaves things I'm not picking them up and he's responsible if Harley chews it, but it bugs me to let him chew stuff he shouldn't so I stop working and clean the room :S

Anyways, that's my stressed out rant. I can't wait to get this to-do list done I have WAY too many papers to mark over reading week. I feel like I'm never going to be done.
