Why one should not conduct business meetings in one's own home.

Place is cleaned, puppy has gone for morning wee and had her breakfast, tray is laid out with the nice cups and saucers, coffee is brewing on the machine, C and M are all dressed up. We're off to a good start *insert music of DOOM*

Business man arrives.
Lia: I LOVE you stranger. Let me kiss you!
Business man is luckily a dog lover and showers Lia with cuddles.
Lia: *puppy submission pees on the floor out of sheer eagerness to please*
Murp peeks down from top of stairs.
M wipes up mess, while C seats business man in living room.
Felix is sleeping on one of the dining room chairs.
Business man: Oh another cat.
C: Yes, we have a lot of pets.
Business man: But they are lovely. So nice and quiet.
Felix: Urgh.
Business man: ??
Felix: Urgh urgh urgh. *vomits all over chair*
Lia: Forget the cat. Would you like to hold my marrow bone while I chew on it? It's only a little bit soggy.

Yup, very professional and business like we are.
