Pica is very intelligent, but the way that she thinks constantly confounds and surprises me.
Normally I give her a small lump of food with her pill, then when she has eaten the pill I give her the main meal. This is because she doesn't always eat every bit of her meal and I need to know she took the pill.
But today I made the mistake of bringing out her main meal first, then remembering the pill and taking the meal away.
She is in the next room sulking because I took the food away.
