Neighborhood Distraction

We were out in the backyard for our mid-day break when a neighborhood distraction diverted Roscoe’s attention.

neighborhood distraction

At some point in the middle of the day, we convince Hu-Dad to take a break from his busyness so we can go outside and enjoy some fresh air (and—some day—we might be able to enjoy the fence that has been delayed and delayed). We have some neighbors who sometimes take a break at the same time and they excitedly say hi. Hu-Dad says they are super nice doggies, but it’s a little neighborhood distraction when we’re supposed to be focused on getting tasks done. Roscoe says he looks cute when distracted. Hu-Dad kept saying, “Focus. Focus.” but we think that was his camera he was talking to.

    The fence delay has to be very frustrating. Have they given you any idea as to when?

    Oh dear Roscoe-the ELUSIVE FENCE!! I know it’s difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand when the dogs in the neighborhood are around Roscoe boy! Let’s hope Hu-Dad stopped telling you to focus!!
