Mum has this stupid hobby. She calls it crocheting. I call it a waste of time. She makes things like this...dumb, right?
Why crochet a dog when you have a real dog right here next to you that you are neglecting?!
So sometimes when mums at work, I do this to her supplies.

....A little hobby of my own.
Then, when mum tells me how disappointed she is, I make this face, and she forgives me.
I don't mean to disappoint her, I just want her to find a new hobby...like walkies. Or tug time. Or stare at me adoringly. Is that too much to ask??
