“Precisely. Digital media does not work—I have tried it. But the higher mammalian brain is sufficient to hold several months worth of fresh engrams. These four creatures all have excess space in their craniums—more than enough space for your trivial memories.”
I was rendered momentarily speechless. For a few seconds the only sound was that of Gertrude clawing at the door.
“What about Gertrude?” I said, hoping to buy more time. “She seems to want to come in.”
“It’s getting close to feeding time,
...” Rausch said. “But never mind that. Now choose. Goat, or Yorkie?”
That gave me an idea. “Dog food!” I yelled. “Cat food! Goat food! Treats! Din-din!”
The goat unleashed an ear shattering bleat. “Feed me!” it said.
“Food,” said the cat. “Food! Food!”
The spaniel whined. The goat bleated. Gertrude took her scratching up a notch. The Yorkie began barking frantically.
“Now see what you’ve done!” Rausch said.
“Sorry,” I said. “I just love watching animals eat.”
