Somtam Takes Over My Home Office

Somtam is a six-year-old Pomeranian who believes she is the head of my home office. I work in a small flat in Silom, so there isn't much room, and she has claimed the chair, the foot of the desk and the box where the printer used to be. She has a strong opinion about every video call. When I speak, she barks at the laptop as if the other person is an intruder. My manager has now seen her tail poking into frame more than once, and he seems to think it's charming. I've started giving her a chew toy during meetings, which works about half the time. The other half, I just let her win and get back to work.
