My husband just thinks he's a dog.

But hey! Speaking of boredom and ways of alleviating it ....

Some years ago, when I was working from home, as soon as I heard my hub's car draw up in the driveway I would run up and down the hallway doing a very plausible impersonation of an excited dog barking and yelping with joy (as yer do).

This was OK until one morning I bumped into my next door neighbour who said: "I didn't know you had recently got a dog".

It wasn't easy to explain.
