I'm Not Dead



Recently I was talking to a friend and in passing mentioned I'd been out of the state for the last 3+ weeks. She was more than a little surprised, responding that she'd never known I was gone.

Now I'm fairly certain that should I slip and die in my apartment it will be a couple days before anyone finds my body. Good thing Reuben can open cupboards. I was thinking that maybe I should make him a little stash of easily accessible food so he'll be provided for, just in case. But then I realized he's got it covered and THAT is why he throws his food on the ground during every meal. He's creating his own handy stock pile. Just suck on a few spots of carpet and you've got yourself a full meal. Mmm.

Do you have white carpet so he can find things easier?

All he would get from your carpet is Crystal Light and there isn't a lot of nutrition from that. We would be knocking on your door before that, anyway.

That carpet looks about like mine. Adam does the same thing. Sometimes I don't clean it up immediately and he goes back for his raisins (or whatever) later and picks up a few off the carpet for a snack. I'm teaching his self-sufficiency, right? hahaha. Oh, I'm terrible.

So, when did you start letting Reuben enjoy red wine, coffee, and iodine? Just kidding. Call me!
