Years ago I was given my first prescription for daily brain meds. I have a hard time getting new habits to stick, so early on I hit upon the idea of giving Charlie a treat at the same time, and in no time he was in charge of reminding me it was time to take my meds.
|
||
|
||
It was a job he took very seriously.
|
||
|
||
Eventually other cats joined the family and it wouldn’t do to have only Charlie get treats. And also eventually my health care regimen changed so I no longer took daily pills, but the treats continued every morning just the same
|
||
|
||
And now with Charlie gone all that’s left is two young cats coming into my office in the morning asking for treats, an echo of a time when every morning at nine I took a pill. I suspect this echo will remain for many years.
