Bella and My Very Long Video Calls

I work from my Thonglor condo most days, which means Bella, my almost-four-year-old schnauzer, has a front-row seat to every video call. She barks at the delivery guy, sits on my keyboard, and sighs dramatically whenever I say the word deadline. 🐾 What helped: a ten-minute walk before my first meeting, and a chew toy kept under my desk for emergencies. The mute button is my friend. Bella has now learned that a green light means quiet, so she lies down and waits. Honestly, having her there is the best part of the day.
