What's In the BFTB Office?

This is the typical scene in the Barking from the Bayou office. Bentley and Pierre like to keep me company. This is how they usually sleep with Pierre on the Kuranda bed and Bentley under my card catalogue. 

*If you’ll notice the shelf, it contains some of my favorite doggies things. The top shelf has photos of all the dogs and cats that have left their paw prints on my heart. The second shelf has knick-knacks, the Bayou Boys salt dough paw prints, and that drawing was done by one of my student office workers. That’s Tucker, my Golden Retriever and it is very special piece of artwork.  The next shelf is my canvas photo of Bentley and more dog stuff. That fourth shelf is books and magazines some that have used my quotes and sent me copies. Have you ever seen those irons? They are heavy cast iron flat irons that belonged to my mother-in-law. That bottom shelf contains fun stuff that our granddaughter can play with when she visits. She loves my office, but most things are not for tiny hands. This shelf changes with each visit as she moves stuff back and forth to their bedroom.   

Bentley loves to sleep under things. That is why we had the incident I told you about in “A Recliner Warning”. (If you haven’t read it, I urge to do so and share it with friends.) He loves to sleep under his Dad’s desk in the “mancave” and will sometimes curl up under mine. It always makes me snicker when he sleeps under the card catalogue with the Spoiled Rotten Basset sign! At least he is willing to admit it. 

** Since I described what's on the shelf, let me tell you about my card catalogue. It was given to me when I quit my job as the library assistant at a high school in Louisiana. We had several and this one sat behind my desk the entire time I worked there. It was full of cards but I discarded most of them due to the excess weight! The photo is my grandmother and that phone is from my time working for AT&T. It still works but the ringer could wake the dead! That ashtray is ceramic and includes a match & big fat cigar. I think it’s cool. The plant is a cutting from one that belonged to my grandfather. I have managed to keep it alive in water for years. The plant is beautiful and can be planted but I am so afraid I’ll kill it and it is the last of the original.  

Well, that is a tour of the boys' part of our Barking from the Bayou office. I'll show you my part another day. For now, you know where all the magic happens!
