Ace Wants to be a myLotter / myLot

United States

June 26, 2019 10:20pm CST

Ace kept putting his paws up on the edge of my desk while I was myLotting the other day. I finally picked him up and put him on my lap and let him see what I was doing. He put his paws by the keyboard and stared at the screen. My missus said he looked like he was ready to start his own novel. I wonder what he would write about. Do you think Ace is ready to be a dog with a blog or the next Nicholas Barks?

If animals could only talk, wow, what would they say. I imagine that with my mothers dog. I sit with him and talk with him. I always ask him to tell me a story but he never does. LOL. I bet they would say a lot and write a lot as well. If he was able I am sure he would write a novel.

I talk to Ace all the time and hear him answer in my head, or so I tell my wife. She's used to it though and goes along.

@DWDavis Yeah, I hear you. I wonder what my mothers dog would say. I do always answer for him. I do call him, "Max Ninja, Squirrel Hunter." LOL. He always chases Squirrels in the yard.

I think that Ace is a brilliant dog who wants to see what this human obsession with the tappy thing and the shining picture thing is all about. In your picture he's clearly saying in his little woolly mind: "Erm, what do we do now?". My cat reaches up and puts his paws on the keyboard from under the table but that's only to say "Now, stop what you're doing - whatever it is, it's senseless! - *I* need some attention NOW!". Occasionally, he's interested in watching the cursor move about he screen but he's smart enough to know that it's not a fly, so it's not really interesting.

When my cat Joe was still with us, he would get bored watching me work on the computer and lay down across the keyboard thus forcing me to give him some attention.

He might want to know what his master looks at everyday.

You should put on a YouTube clip of some dogs. His reaction might be interesting.

I'm not sure how he'd react to a video about dogs, but he enjoys watching the Women's World Cup games with me. I think the ball being kicked around catches his attention.

Ace looks so interested and I am sure he will learn it fast. I would be more than happy to have a dog mylotter here. I would be the first one to follow him.

That is what worries me about him learning to use a computer.

Could you see he was about to read a comment by @TheHorse to a response I'd made? He was probably thinking, "If a horse can myLot, why not a dog?"

That's so cute...usually cats do that, first time I've heard of a dog wanting to get involved with computer things. Interesting and so cute. He must miss you but you'd rather be at the computer than be with him so guess Ace joined you.

During the summer, I spend a lot of time with Ace playing with his toys or just sitting in our chair watching TV.

@DWDavis No wonder Ace misses you and wanted to know what was keeping you from him.
