Who needs a pillow?

Ah, yes, the foot pillow.
When Annie got really old, she lost her hearing completely. She could not hear anything.
We then noticed that she seemed to use the foot pillow more and more often.
We thought it was so sweet.
But eventually we realized that because she was by then completely deaf, using the foot pillow was how she knew if we got up and possibly could be heading to the kitchen. —
— Yes. We shared a little bit of people food sometimes — a little cracker, a little cheese, holding an apple for her so she could trim the last bites around the core. (I know there are dog owners who think it is terrible to share people food. But it was not all kinds. And she mostly ate regular dog food that came from the vet. Besides, she lived more than 16 years so we must have done something right.)
Thanks for the sweet memory of the foot pillow and how its use evolved over all those years with Annie.
