It is a mystery

I have my desk arranged parallel to my closet so my back is to the (sliding door) closet. A nice white background for video calls. My right side is up against a shelf and wall and I hop into my chair from the left. Because of space restrictions, my desk is extremely close to the closet, I have enough room for the chair to fit in between the desk and the closet but I have to climb out of the chair over the armrest since the chair butts against the desk. 

Not a big deal, I just turn off my video if I need to hop up during a video call. 

My dog loves to lay in the spot between the closet and the desk. She likes being close to me and I pet her sometimes while I work. But she's a big dog and it's a narrow space. And she snuggles with her face right up against my chair legs.

And she traps me at my desk. 

I can get out of my chair but it is difficult and requires very careful stepping and climbing. 

Anyway, I'm hungry.  

 So I was walking Mara this morning and I could hear a big dog barking from a yard nearby. It sounded super clear, and I thought maybe the dog was putting it's head over the fence. 

I looked over and


hey buddy
