Roger the lousy nurse
This is Roger, who will be 13 years old next month. It’s comforting to think that if I’m ever incapacitated, Roger will bring me a stuffed chicken to sustain me while I wait for the paramedics to arrive. Depending on how long that takes, however, there’s an excellent chance that he will also bark at me in anger for not getting up to get his customary afternoon biscuit while I bleed out.
I was moving some things around in the basement storage room this afternoon and tripped over something before landing on my knee. Roger came to investigate what the loud cursing was for. He looked at me for maybe five seconds, then turned around and ran out of the storage room, only to return with the stuffed chicken. I'm doomed if I ever need his help.

If you could just train him to bring you chicken SOUP instead, at least you wouldn't starve.
I have Jasper the hyper, he would bark at me and that would probably be it.

His most treasured possession on loan to you in your time of need.
At least you know he loves and cares about you, even if its just so you're healthy enough to provide the afternoon biscuit!
Well done Roger.

Pop a medical alert pendant inside the stuffed chicken and boom, best little helper ever!

Way to go Roger! He knows you would do the same for him. Congrats on having 13 years with this first aider!

He's mocking you. You tell him not to leave his toys in the middle of the room or you'll trip over them.

Aw, what a cute pup! He probably thought that the chicken would comfort you and he probably thought comfort was what you needed the most.
