Today at the Birch Street Nursing Home, my new experiment was temporarily interrupted by a ruckus upstairs. While searching for his guide dog, Mr. Pearlman knocked over the tray of medicine that Mrs. Henley had organized for distribution to the other patients. The loud bang caused Mrs. Patterson to shout that Mrs. Shimshack was breaking in, and all that noise brought the other patients together, stopping them from completing my list of chores. I swept up all the pills and used them as toppings on a special batch of cupcakes, which worked to calm everyone down. When I finally returned to the basement, Sniffles The Seventh was still peacefully curled up in his favorite spot.
