Workin' It

Narration bar: “Sometimes, the workplace can be a little stressful – even a library.” Lightfoot (human form) hears a patron asking, “Do you have any books on kosher recipes for pork roast?”
Narration bar: “When interacting with others, our housemates are seen as completely human by others.” Sheila (human form), in the golfing equipment section of the store, hears a customer ask, “Could you help me choose my balls?”
Narration bar: “If they don’t have to work with people directly, they can be more relaxed.” Sheila (thought bubble): “…therefore, we petition the court to grant our motion, because the other law firm’s action is just plain dumb.” The sign behind her reads “Doolittle & Waite, Attorneys at Law.”
Narration bar: “…well, as relaxed as one can be when dealing with the public.” Caller on Theo’s phone: “I think the monitor is plugged in, but I can’t tell; the power’s out in the whole building.”

As you can see, our furry friends do have jobs to go to. In public, they appear as human as anyone else; if they’re concealed from public view, or if they’re making an aside to you, Constant Reader, they are seen in their furry form. I thought you might like to know that they aren’t restricted to the house. They just prefer it there. (Wouldn’t you?)

    I’ve been in both Lightfoot’s and Theo’s “shoes,” and I definitely feel their pain!

    Waitaminut Tristan. I thought it was established that it was the magic of the house that allowed them to let their furry selves out.

      Out in the allegedly “real world,” we can see them in their furry forms if they’re alone (away from prying eyes) or if they’re making a private comment that we can see, usually as a thought bubble. We saw this first with Ophelia at her law firm, when she couldn’t believe her boss wanted to be called “Dr. Doolittle.” (“Proper Titles”, )
