Feeling used

Last week, Gail completed an online 'Health and Safety' assessment for working at home on her computer.

Perhaps wisely, she decided not to be entirely straightforward when answering the questions about her preferred laptop resting place...

Should I report her?

Oh and I would like to know if I am alone in being exploited this manner?

    Oh Bertie, I, Hootie am also often used as a furry desk for Mommy's laptop. Glad to see I am not alone. Well, to be truthful, I kind of jump up on her lap and force myself into becoming a breathing desk! bol. Love the photos here.
    Smooches,

    you might loose the spring in your legs if she keeps using you like that! or may be thats what shes thinking!

    A health and safety questionnaire for working at home ? The mind boggles.

    Bertie - Milton Keynes might as well be New York. If there's travel involved make sure Gail takes the address of a pet shop. Absence equals guily assuaging toys !

    Only report Gail is she ever mistakes your nose for her mouse, and starts doing strange things with it!

    I think you should report her for sure! My Mum has a computer that has to sit on a desk. I think it would crush me!

    Quite a circumstance you have. If you report her, will your services be farmed out to other humans who require an ergonomic laptop rest?

    So, Bertie, do you think its possible if you report Gail, that she might get Fined and have to pay some money that might be better spent on Bertie toys, Bertie Foods, Bertie Treatz? Be a little careful there, Bertie!

    Kisses,
    Stella

    You look pretty comfy there Bertie! We are not used in this manner -- something about hair getting in the works -- but we would like it...

    Oh Bertie, you must tell her not to mention such things. M.O.M's laptop ends up in strange places too so let's just keep that between us!!

    You've got no case, Bertie. You're not restrained and are perfectly able to move any time you want. In fact, the only 'creature' whose health and safety is at risk is probably the computer. Mama once had to have her desk top comupter worked on and the repair dude actually gasped aloud when he saw the amount of dog hair inside the tower thingie. You don't shed, do you?

    You are definitely being used. Our mom works from home and never ever puts her lap top on our furry selves. She does let us (me actually) sit on her chair and use the laptop -- but no way Jose will we reverse the protocol and let the lap top sit on us. In any case, as dogs, we're not sure we even have laps!!! Ask Gail, she'll know.

    Wirey love,

    Jake

    Oh Bertie you crack us up. Look at the Bertie sandwich!! Is the yaptop as warm as as mom's lap?

    Thankfully my mom doesn't have a yaptop yet. When I want to be aggravating, I walk back and forth in front of her monitor then bat her hands when she moves the mouse.
