Good morning. 🌺🌸🪷

17 August 2025

It’s eight minutes to mealtime and still no sign of Charlie. I imagine he’ll round the corner any minute now to remind me of my duties. And speak of the devil—here he is, muttering something. I swear he tries to talk. Sometimes I think I catch actual words like “let’s go” or “go out.” Is it just my imagination running away with me?

Anyway, I’ve prepared breakfast for Charlie. I use all my culinary talents—the same ones I use for myself: I open a can. When Charlie eats, if I stand too close and watch, he gives me the side-eye and a low growl. But when I eat, he plants himself right in front of me and stares until I tell him to go away.

Yes, I’ve posted this Jane Goodall quote more than once. It earns the repetition.

“You cannot share your life with a dog … or a cat and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.” — Jane Goodall
