Having a small creature to look after is an amazing privilege, but you don't get any work done. If you are not cleaning up after it, re-filling their water dish after a swimming session, or just watching in fascinated horror as he attempts to shred the entire bookcase, frame and all. Even when he is asleep he stops the work from being done, as he is just too cute to not stare at and cuddle. And, if by some small miracle you do manage to focus on the laptop or writing pad, he wakes up in annoyance at the strayed attention and crawls onto your lap/ keyboard/ notepad, before going back to sleep. Even as I type this, he is chewing the corner of my laptop but as he is adorable I'm just going to let him do it.
