Specialist

My dog is also my health advisor. I have her on permanent retainer. She oversees my well-being, and I'm her only client. She's so happy to take care of me, I never need an appointment, and she's never late. 

Unless there's a squirrel in the room - which is rare - I always have  100% of my advisor's attention. 

Over the years, I've learned things by watching her routines. Like how she is so laser focused on her meal when eating. No multi-tasker, like scrolling the doggie reels or pawing out a text to a pal. No one eye trained to the newest bingy cringy mini-series, or I-40 cruising to Vegas while nibbling her kibble. Focused while eating, zero distractions, it's a good idea for all. 

Or how she doesn't even eat and drink water together; Widgie always has her sip later. Rest time is deep and undisturbed. Then, her requisite stretching minute after her nap, another good idea for me. 

Our critters normally do what is naturally best, knowledge gained  thru milleniums of hardship and experience. Sure, Medicare is cool, glad to have it. But, I'm lucky to have my best specialist at home.
