Chet is a cocker spaniel/jack russell terrier/fox terrier mix. Up till now, he’s needed supervision during his waking hours, so keeping him out of mischief (more or less) is in turn keeping me busy.
Generally Chet's nap-time or a quiet moment during the day when he is occupied with a chewie or a toy is when I need to squeeze in regular chores, errands, and writing—which is why for now my writing activities have been somewhat curtailed. Happy to make the trade-off though!
