Wonderful.

In time, we found out Tucker was about 10 years old. He was mostly blind and deaf, and he had regular seizures. We were in and out of the vet. We were trying to shower him with love and attention. But no matter what we did, he honestly just didn't seem to care. I mean, not about us or anything.

He never came to the door or even lifted his head when we woke up or walked into the room or came home or came down the stairs in the morning. If the family was in the living room, he'd go to the whole other side of the house. Often he'd find the darkest, loneliest corner and lay there. And if we went and picked him up, he'd go back to that sad corner.

We read a lot and we understood that with love and time and consistency, this antisocial behavior would most likely change in maybe three months, six months. But it's actually gotten worse. We started wondering if he just didn't like us or maybe didn't even want to be alive.

I actually started recording some of our conversations about it so the kids would have context about what we were going through in case they asked us like 10 years later when they had a core memory about Tucker, they'd understand. And this is one of those conversations when I was asking Kaisa about her thoughts on Tucker's state of mind. Hold on, I'm going to record.

Like I said, it's been a year, and the one thing we always say to each other in these conversations is, I just wish we knew what he was thinking.

So after my interview with Dita, I sent an email asking her if she could telepathically read Tucker. She said yes, and that she could do this remotely from Denmark. But it would help to get on Zoom so she could look into his eyes. When we first got on Zoom, Tucker was in Kaisa's lap. We were on the couch and my laptop was on the coffee table.

And then suddenly Tucker kind of wigged out and jumped onto the ground. So would it help for me to put the computer down by him?

Yeah, let me just... I'm going to just get our computer because we're sitting in a weird space. Here we go. You are ready. Now we're ready.

Dita certainly didn't know this, but when we adopted Tucker, they told us he'd been in and out of the shelter once before, and he had two different chips in his body, meaning most likely two different families. So this tracks, and there's no way she could have known any of this.

No, I'm just crying. It's just so sweet to think of him having this like a happy life before. Anyway, keep going. I just am sensitive. Of course, go on.
