Every morning, after my shower, the Jon Katz Treat-Time Fan Club gathers either right outside of the bathroom or in the living room in front of the fish tank.

No human is ever more loved or appreciated than when he is giving treats to a dog. Bud hops up on his favorite footstool, Fate and Zinnia stare lovingly. In a minute, each will go off to their own space to munch on a healthy, think digestible treat.

Life is good at treat time, and I appreciate my fan club.
