Chihuahuas are definitely not ergonomic. I am someone who
feels off kilter if I’m sitting and I don’t have an animal in my lap. Whether
it’s a dog, a cat or, in my case, when I’m outside, a goat (which is fine
except Janie occasionally leaves a hoof print on my thigh), I’m most content
when I have a critter in my lap. But this summer while I’m taking advantage of
the down time between school years to write, I’ve discovered I can’t slide my
keyboard shelf out if Wally, my Chihuahua, is on my lap. Now, I could always
push him off my lap, but since he’s already suffering from a Napoleon complex,
I don’t want to damage his self-confidence. Instead I push my chair back so
there’s room for Wally and my keyboard, and I arch over my lap to type.
Needless to say it is a slow and not terribly convenient way to type 70,000
words, and I’ll probably have major back troubles. But at least my little Wally
will feel good about himself. I’m just glad Janie is not an inside animal.
