I’ve already written about Katherine’s reaction to having her four lower teeth extracted (“I want glue teeth“). Lately she’s been a bit more OCD than usual — it comes and goes, but at the moment she really wants cupboard doors closed and pots centered on their trivets, etc.
Robin was privileged to see the newest manifestation of this yesterday. Katherine was in the office with one of her teachers, working on programs, while Robin was working on the computer. Also, Aurora (Rora), our female Sheltie, was in the office as well. And she was panting — likely due to the fact that with all the floor lamps on in that room as well as the computers it turns into a reasonable facsimile of an Easy Bake oven.
This canine behavior, though, was apparently unacceptable to Katherine, so she expressed her objections forcefully: “Close dog!” “I want close dog!” “Yes close dog!”
I’m not sure whether Robin took the dog out of the room or if Rora just settled down and stopped panting, but apparently the problem was solved without the use of duct tape, so all was once again well.
