My Dog is a misogrammatist

My dog, a Beagle mix, if that matters, hates reading. It's as if he wishes the world was illiterate like him. If you lay on the bed and try to read he will lay on top of you. If this does not stop your incessant need to learn he will then paw the book, or you, whichever produces the most disruption. If you are foolish enough to sit up and read be prepared to need shin guards.
Laptops are another story all together. Mostly he likes to rest his head on the top of the screen and look down at you, while his head is in the way and drool gets all over your keyboard. Is this or he'll come around the side and help you type, making sure you hit the maxim number of keys, and possibly changing whatever page you where looking at.
This has led me to the conclusion that my dog Heff (and not after Hugh Hefner, but that's another story) hates learning. He is therefor the nemesis of my returning to school, and a perfect scapegoat. I don't ever have to wait for him to eat my homework, he won't let me get started.

My dog does the same exact thing! Small world in which we live in.

I'm pretty sure that my 2 year old is just like your dog...except with less hair.

If he was a cat, I'd say he was "hampering."

One of my cats is fascinated with the mouse cursor on my computer. It definitely complicates things. :)
