    Marvelous.

    As Eleanor said, this is just the plain truth for some of us. That's why it's so funny.
    My cat "Guitarra" loves to sit on my knees while I proofread my translations aloud.

    Thanks mox, I do need a pet. My wife wouldn't listen me anymore when I proofread. My son did listen until he was old enough to walk and run away ;)

    In the early days, I never exported a project from Déjà Vu without holding my kitten for security. In those days, she was also small enough to fit on top of the broadband router.

    Hits the spot as usual Alejandro. My dog cacho brings the ball to me from time to time and we make up elaborate games to keep him occupied for a while! Like hiding his ball or wrapping it up so that he has to dig it out :)and I wouldn't walk in the mornings if it wasn't for him!

    Yes - my labradoodle-husky (Lilly) makes sure I get at least 45 minutes a day of walking, (almost) never stay in bed too late and work in a calm, quite place (she whines and barks if I try to work around others in the house). She's not very good at listening to proofreading, however...

    Love it!!! My dog helps me to stick to my not translation related daily schedule, meaning I am exposed for prolonged time to fresh air at least twice a day...

    Oh, adorable, we love it! Mina is our very favorite character and we are glad she is back home. Alejandro, if you don't mind, Judy will show this cartoon (among others) during her ATA presentations in Boston. The attendees always love your cartoons -- and so do we.

    At 3:30 p.m. every day, my doberman, Saco, used to stick his head under my arms to lift my hands off the keyboard so I could take him for a walk.

    That's it! I am quite new at this, I think I'm starting by having a pet (That, I can do ;). I have had fishes, I have had birds (too noisy birds), and I think I'm getting a bunny =). It's not Mina but... My fishes were quite dirty, I do not know about Mina ^^.

    Mox's just GREAT as always. Congratulations!

    My rabbit is a very good listener. He also reminds me that I have a garden and should get up and go pick him some more veggies so we both don't starve.
