Simple Pleasures

You know what this is? It's the packet my vitamins were in. I take them daily.
And daily, Trout hears me open this and then proceeds to take off with the empty packet.
He actually sits and waits for me to finish emptying it.

Then, for at least the next hour, he has a blast. He pushes it around the house.
He throws it in the air. He carries it to each room. He pushes it down the stairs and then brings it back up. He loves it. Then.... he loses it.

And the he waits until the next morning.

Can you imagine such simple pleasure? To be so happy and pleased over something so simple.
And then when it's gone it's like he knows his happiness will be back. He just goes along and finds something else to play with. Or, takes a nap.

and satisfaction who have never pursued and successfully caught his tail".
