There's a window in my stairway that keeps my two dogs entertained for hours. They sit on the landing while I'm hard at work in my office and watch the world go by.
But every now and again something might happen they feel they need to tell me about. It might be the arrival of the postman, or one of my neighbours getting a delivery or, perish the thought, a cat might nonchalantly stroll by.
Obviously, they are always keen to report these events by barking their heads off. And if I'm in the middle of a phone call or a Zoom meeting that's really not ideal.
