Bella and the Flea Season Lesson

Bella is a young Persian, and she has taught me more about patience than any book. Last rainy season I found a tick on her neck after a stroll through the Ekkamai soi gardens, and it shook me. These days I check her coat every Sunday, with my reading glasses on and a towel across my lap.

I ask the vet near Thonglor which treatment suits her, and I keep the schedule on the fridge door. Small habits, really, but they matter.
