Drabble by Kevin Fagan for May 07, 2020

Every day is ‘Feed the dog again’ day!

That’s not what the cat said.

to you, Wally….to the rest of us, it’s Thursday!

I must be certifiable. Years ago my father, Jack died. We came back from the funeral and were met at the door by the family dog, Trouble. I would stake my life that Trouble asked me “Where’s Jack?” in an almost human voice. First and only time I heard her speak in human words. I told her that Jack had died. Then went around the farm and told each and every animal on the farm that Jack had died. I did not want to be out in the pasture and get asked by the sheep or ducks or chickens and risk being seen having a conversation with the animals. People might have decided I needed to stay in a padded room wearing a jacket that tied in the rear.

I ask my cats questions all the time. I’ll ask them why they didn’t remind me I hadn’t run the dishwasher or other things I forgot. I just get that stare. I have a white erase board on the wall where I see it every time I head to the kitchen or the front door. When my husband was in the Nursing Home last year- they posted a sign with the day & date each day. I liked that idea & put a big Today is & under that every day I write the day of the week & under that the month & date. Doesn’t help.

I agree with Ralph’s word of wisdom. I just thanked my cat for remind me to comment.

Ha, everyone knows it’s Saturday.

What is it if you’re losing arguments with the voices in your head?

You wouldn’t if you were smarter. HEY!

Ask Alexa. That’s what I do!

BTW Ralph, Wally says you’re losin’ you mind. But that was a pretty easy diagnosis to make.

That’s one of the real advantage of today’s phone — I can always check it to see what day it is.

Wally’s a smartie. : )

Lost, not losing. You lost it years ago.
