Not a lot gets done without Beau's approval.
Actually not a lot gets done with his approval, either, as he tends to lay down on whatever I'm looking at.

If I'm trying to read a magazine, I've learned to lay out TWO magazines --
I open a decoy right in front of myself,
and lay the one I'm actually trying to read off to the side as if I don't care about it.

Sometimes he takes the bait and sprawls out in front of me over the one I'm not reading,
but generally he tries to cover them both.
