If I'm late feeding Basil he decides to nibble on my toes as a not so subtle hint. If I make the mistake of sitting at my computer desk (usually where I left my cigs from the night before) they sit in front of the screen so I can't get distracted by something thats not them.
Henry had an alarm clock in his belly, when he first arrived he would be in the room every morning at 6.00 on the dot, never 6.01 or 5.59.
