The library experiment

Ever since we moved to our new, bigger apartment, my dog has had one desire: to run in circles around the living room couch.  The problem is, he’s not content to do this on his own.  Instead he feels the need to bark incessantly until someone comes to chase him in circles.  Seriously.  He’s even gotten to the point where he’ll run into the room fake-growling with a toy in his mouth, bark at you, and then run away.  Or he’ll just bark from behind the couch until you go to investigate if there’s an actual problem.

My original theory was that he just needs more exercise, so my husband and I have been taking him on long exercise walks.  But after about two hours of exercise yesterday, he came home, grinned at me, and then ran around the couch barking.  Apparently there is great joy in this.  Unfortunately, it’s hard for me to focus on book-writing when my dog won’t be quiet.  So today I’m venturing to the great frontier – a new library which I haven’t yet been to.  Cheaper than a coffee shop, quieter than home.  Hopefully it’ll give me some much needed peace and inspiration.  Otherwise, it’s back to the drawing board.
