Chong is a lap dog. In fact, given the opportunity, Chong would be in a lap 24 hours a day. This has created a very strange situation - Chong is jealous of my laptop.

I suppose I'd have to jump back slightly to clarify that all laps are not equal. Chong has attached himself to me and wants my lap above all others. He'll jump in my lap when I kneel down to pick something up off the floor. He'll even jump into my arms from the ground - with me standing.

So, recently I've started using my laptop in the living room. While Kim is in the kitchen doing other things, we can chat as I peruse the online world.

Chong has taken note of this; he'll bark at the laptop in my lap. He'll sit in the corner of the couch glaring and whining. Over and over again, he'll put himself between me and the laptop, making it impossible to use.

He knows he's losing this battle, so the next step is to try and make friends. Unfortunately, the laptop doesn't play, and really isn't much to cuddle with... Chong just wants his equal time, and is trying hard to understand why this silver object is so important.

Can't we just be friends?
