Simon is the best pet-trainer in town…
I scroll down to read the story further, as Mojo nibbles at my toes.
Simon lost a lucrative corporate job during the pandemic. He started moonlighting as a pet trainer.
His USP:
He knows the requirements of a virtual office at home. Pets are trained to remain silent when a Zoom meeting is on, and not to pounce on a parent’s hands working on a laptop in a quest for attention.
They are trained to develop tolerance for the ‘humans’ lounging around home all week.
“Mojo, you have a new teacher…”

Great story! I like how you wove what was being read and what was happening while reading together.

Ha! Good one. My cat appears out of nowhere when it’s Zoom time, she thinks she’s a starlet.

The one nobody wants to talk about is managing funerals with little or no attendance, and yet it is needed. 😰

Oh this is fabulous Reena! I wonder a little if you were inspired by your own experiences in this area? Having fur babies during virtual meetings is just as challenging as having the kiddos around too!
