The pandemic has taught us so many things. It came when it was least expected, and all of our lives have been completely different since then. No one knew we would have to stay inside our homes and not go out for a long period of time. All of us had this habit of going out and living our lives. Nobody was prepared to live a life of complete isolation. People had to learn to do regular activities from the comfort of their own homes because the outdoors were dangerous. Some of us never thought that could have been possible but it was. Just like us humans, animals also were not really used to living indoors and not going out. Just like our lives have been affected, their lives have also been affected. But you know, your pets really enjoy having you around! Amidst this pandemic situation, you being at home 24/7 has been your pet’s dream all along! Your pets want your undivided attention. Pets surely don’t understand the concept of working from home! When you are home, it means giving all your attention to your pets.
They can never follow the rules, also why would they follow them? It’s you who has to work, not them! Well, they will not let you work as well, because they are not aware of the concept of deadlines. So, when you are in a rush and you have to submit a report in 3 hours, that’s exactly when your cat will come rub her face on your hands and sit on your keyboard. Exactly not the best time to crave attention Mr Kitty, but what can we do? Pets are so irresistible that you will have to stop working and deal with your pet’s mood swings first. Or you will have to face their wrath!
If you need something to lift up your spirit during this hard time, you are in the right place! Today, we have gathered a few stories from people who have been working from home, well at least trying their best to work in the presence of their beloved pets, and they are hilarious! So, scroll down and read these hilarious stories! We are sure this will lift up your mood!
