Dd 5 18.

 I don't know what happened yesterday... we were moving at a pretty happy pace because we had two jobs one at 10 andover and the other at noon very near Boston Reviere maybe? In any case we got it together and did both jobs very nicely although it was tiring on the dogs um ziti did collapse not collapse she just fell asleep on the front seat of the car and everybody had to look at her through the window... every job we do is different and certainly the one in Riviera was different what it involved was pulling the car onto the playground and letting dogs loose... having different classes of children come out and look at the dogs pat the dogs talk about the dogs and then go back in on a rotational basis so it really was a simple matter to eliminate ziti from the process except to have her visually available through the window the other two slept all the way home. but as we were putting it together it also occurs to me we don't have two sets of pet dogs either..  this is in no way stretching any point whatsoever about the fact that now and again there might be a Harlequin Dane puppy available somewhere that I really ought to look at.. but we don't want to talk about that.

 

I'm very happy with this puppy and hope she grows into something able to take not take sizzle's place but walk in her footsteps it's gonna be terribly hard to come up with a larkey replacement--that dog has nerves of steel-- even if he does misbehave on occasion.

 

now it's about putting your parents in a nursing home.. I'm sure there are times when there is no other solution however at the 1st place we went to yesterday we went into a room which had eight people in it and I thought ohh that's kind of too bad but by the time we had been there 1/2 an hour there were 40 people crammed in that one room all trying to see the dogs and the puppy and things like that.. and in that group was Ron and Hope Nutter

out of my long gone past... Hope and I we're basically the two people who put together that crazy circus she had four children I had to and we had one extra Cindy but Hope and I got into all kinds of trouble here there and everywhere be it magazine delivery or circus production we had a good time it was a shock to see her in that adult care home,,, in a wheelchair.... we had some good times together.. she explained that they were in that place.. which mind you is absolutely beautiful one of the best we go to ,

Because their children basically put them there.. and she said they hate it. 

How many times have I heard that same situation.    The man with the junkyard where we got ziti-- told us stories about each side of him was a situation where the older woman was forced into a nursing home by children.. he went on at great details on that but the eventuality was the same the woman lost... 

 

fortunately I don't think I'm in that position but I can see where everything can slide sideways into “well it's really for her better benefit...” etc etc. Rest assured I would fight it--- tooth and nail

age is a pain in everyone's neck..from just old to deaf added, it ain't a ride on a merry-go round.
