Honestly, I [i]have[/i] to listen to something, perferably very loudly, to be able to write. I can't concentrate when I can hear the dogs scuffing about with their claws on my wooden floor and whimpering pathetically because mommy is in the office. Really, the kids are less dependant on me than the dogs. And I have a guinea pig who starts "dweeb"ing very loudly whenever I make noise outside of the living room.

*sigh*

I love having pets ^_^'
