Tales from the Dog Bed is a series by Jessie A., an 8-pound big-eared big-hearted terrier mix. Jessie loves to talk about her lives. Not just her life today, in Santa Monica, but also her past lives, which she remembers as though they were yesterday. Jessie has been everywhere and done everything — and she wants you to know it.

Bea, Jessie’s she-human (AKA, The Housekeeper)

Hey.

I know it’s been a while. My human, Bea, has been bogarting the little MacBook for weeks, and that’s the only computer I can use because my paws are so small. And Bea’s not even using the computer for anything sensible like buying toys or treats! Instead, she’s been buying stuff for the new house they bought, paying bills, shopping for clothes and shoes for herself, doing applications for grad school and a promotion at work, and other boring stuff.

She has also been publishing more on Medium, and lordy, is she slow. I heard her say she rarely publishes more than eight or ten articles a month, which means it takes her at least THREE DAYS to write something.
