Melody is still on Mom's schedule

It amazes me how much my mom's dog Melody has retained Mom's daily schedule. For example, when I get up, she asks to go out as soon as I get downstairs in the morning. Then around noon or so, she'll hide behind the bed, because this was when Mom would have lunch or get bathed (or whatever). Then around 2:30 pm, she'll ask to go out, because that's about the time the aide would let her out. Then again at around 4:30 p.m., because this was the time another aide early on when she came in the afternoon would let her out. Melody still asks for her food in the morning and at 5:30 in the afternoon, as well as hiding behind the bed downstairs during the 6 pm hour which is when Mom would have supper. And then again around 9 pm she asks to go out because Mom would be going to the toilet during her evening programs, usually missing the first half of the 9 pm show in the process only to come out and deal with her medications afterward.

She has retained Mom's schedule almost perfectly.
