When I'd replaced the sconces in the bedroom with some vintage ones I'd rebuilt and rewired, he joyfully flicked the switch off and on several times, admitting that this was well above his skill set and that it seemed like magic to him. I had a feeling that this was one of the joys of loving someone for a long time, realizing that there was always more to learn about them.

The animals had also learned more. For example, that Bertie liked to graze and didn't usually eat his breakfast all at once. Once Crumb realized there was a second breakfast available, just one bowl over, he'd scarf his own and then dive into Birdie's.

This had led to a somewhat complicated morning routine involving shooing Crumb out into the yard as soon as he'd finished his last kibble and convincing Bird to go on and clean his plate. but most days we managed it. Marmalade, as usual, took it all in stride. She had priorities. She needed to lay on her perch and watch the birds at the feeder.

She needed several naps to bathe her paws and face and have some uninterrupted one-on-one time with me. And whether there was one dog chasing his tail or two while she did it, she didn't much care. I knew some of her disaffected nature was put on. She liked to appear a bit above her brothers. But I'd also seen her bathe both of their faces when they'd come back from their checkups at the vet.

I wasn't a very organized person, so when it came time to gather together all the bulbs and strands of light and little houses for the Christmas village, we'd had to troop up to the attic, down into the basement, root through the garage, and dig under the bed.
