I have been so excited all day today. I was so excited that poor t had to do tricks all day. He remembered things that happened days ago. Talking to him all day was like talking to my t the way it used to be. Anyone who came into the house today, witnessed Bob getting quizzed on memory items. (I should have thrown him a "treat" for every right answer)
Do you remember from a long time ago, I asked Bob what animals were on a farm? Seven months ago, I had to coax him to give me one animal. Today, he rattled off seven, and he even told me what animal is on the farm to get rid of the animal that eats the feed!
After he saw me getting so excited about his memory, he got all choked up too. He would ask me, "Did I get it right?", with a cracked voice.
