(Side note) I remembered the other day sitting at the computer a story a family member had shared. The toddler in the family was afraid of the vaccum. The same toddler would not stay away from the staircase and would tumble down the stairs often. One day they left the vaccum at the staircase and that solved the problem. Sweet little toddler stayed away due to the scary vaccum sitting there.
So back to the story... When Spencer or I are at the computer Daisy likes to come up and sit on our laps. Thats fine until she starts to attack the screen and there is no holding her back. She is relentless and screaming when you are trying to separate her from the screen.
Two days ago I had her sitting on the desk next to the monitor while I was trying to email when she went on the attack. I quickly clicked over to the blog post where I had this picture and enlarged it on the screen.
She immediately went silent, not removing her eyes from the screen as she closely watched that gorilla. She started to back away from the computer and off the desk into my lap. All the while keeping an eye on the screen. If I really want her to back away, I also just have to make a small grunting noise.
I let Spencer in on this and now when she wants up on our lap while at the computer, we quickly pull this up on one tab, just incase we need to click over quickly to keep things under control! Works like a charm!
