Dan works in the office, were I typically work on the laptop in the living room. We all know of Gilbert's attraction toward Dan. Dan is his person, his people, his buddy. Well, Gilbert has been driving Dan nuts while he has been working. Gilbert would jump on Dan's lap, jump on the desk, even on the back of the computer chair, with the hopes to gain Dan's affection. Dan would humor him for a few minutes, then yell to me, "Come get Gilbert! I can't work with this fatty on my lap." Poor Gilbert has grown so large, he takes up Dan's entire lap.
So I have been getting Gilbert from the office to set him by me on the couch. Oh this just doesn't do for him. He jumps from the couch and will run right back to Dan. Dan is his buddy, and wants HIS company. lol I find this absolutely adorable, whereas Dan can tolerate it for only so long.
Dan found a great solution. (Which he always seems to do, he's pretty darn good at compromises and making all parties happy) Dan cleaned out the office. No easy fete. We had piles of papers everywhere, boxes and boxes of products, stacked high to the ceiling. Dan cleaned it all. Then he used an old box we weren't using, put it by the office window. I put a towel on top of the box. Now Gilbert has an appropriate perch in the office and boy oh boy is he tickled!
Gilbert now gets to "work" while Dan works. Gilbert has been keeping his eyes on the pesky pigeons that have nested just outside our window. The pigeons have made less noise, Gilbert is content, and Dan gets to work. All parties are happy, even me. I hate hearing those darn pigeons. Dooo Doooo DOOOOO! So this post is for my husband. Yay for Dan!
