Pistachio is useful after all. For 1 year, we all believed that Pistachio's raison d'être was to act cute and make everyone happy. His entire existence is founded on increasing dopamine levels in everyone of us. Since he joined our family, I look forwards to coming home to his happy welcome. The Husband smiles when he comes through the door. M is constantly joyful to do her work with Pistachio close by. The Daughter (when not working) smiles indulgently at Pistachio's antics.
Pistachio's contribution to the family is to make people happy. This is a big contribution already.
This week, we discovered that Pistachio is even more useful than merely bringing happiness. We found that Pistachio can hunt rats.
When he scratched at the shoe cupboard, we opened it. He dove into the cupboard and out came a rat. In a blur of action, Pistachio leapt and pounced. He turned, rat in mouth.
We told him he was a "Good boy!" and he was very pleased indeed.
