The water in the pool is too cool for us to swim, so what shall we do in the late afternoon.......
I took these pictures last evening of David enjoying our sweet cats. Lovey is on the bench next to David, and Lily Bud is being her silly self. Our dog Casey was next door visiting with the neighbors.
The emotional roller coaster continues .... mostly good days with hallucinations thrown in off and on during the day and night.
And I say, "thank you God for these precious animals."

Those little critters make a real difference. I saw my father respond to a small dog early on, and he got the biggest kick out of it. He never would have done that 'before'. So it really stayed with me and about the time he died I got a dog...figured they were good for our health! They are, aren't they?! I sure think so.
Animals are wonderful for your health! I'm so glad David is enjoying them!!
You didn't tell us about the hallucinations - were they good ones or bad ones? I hope you got through it okay.
Your my example Dolores! Keep up your spirits!
Hi Dolores! It is so good to see David looking so happy. Your pool view is amazing, so pretty and your plants are still looking good......Christine
Hi Delores...lovin these photos!!! Those kitties are so pretty and the shot with the kitty at the pool is great!!! I'm so happy David is have some good times...try to relax and enjoy your time also my friend!!! My hubby and I were just discussing this disease (he is a RN), there is so much I don't know about it and it all seems so mysterious. I guess I have a hard time visualizing something I don't "see"...but I guess everyone is like me. You're doing a wonderful job with David and I admire you so much!!!

Pets are like children they bring such joy to your life.
Thank you for the supportive emails,my life is upside down, I feel like scrambled egg trying to unscramble myself.

Pictures and pets tell so much. This post is delightful and I am glad the hallucinations that are part of the disease didn't overwhelm your week.
Hugs,

Did you ever think you would appreciate and love a cat this much? I love the pictures and seeing the brief glimpses of David with the cat , knowing he gets pleasure watching and interacting with the little purr ball!
The picture of the cat standing near David, and looking into the pool...so many captions come to mind.
Wonderful photos! I had no idea that a cat could even stand on hind legs like that! Sorry to hear that the hallucinations are continuing, though.

Lily Bud looks like a trick cat!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, party tonight and a dinner tomorrow are on tap.
Yes, my header photo is real. The mountains, the snow, the field ... the horses are actually a rusted metal sculpture. They sit on the highway between Bend and Sisters (which is another small spectacular central Oregon town.)
Stopping by to say that this very moment I'm lifting you up and asking God for those hallucinations to end...
Love to you!

I really enjoy seeing the joy on David's face, as he interacts with your playful kitties. It is almost like they are purposefully drawing him into their cute antics.
Thanks once again for all the fun comments you leave on my blog. I should fashion an award for you!
Happy Sabbath, Delores. May God refill your cup each day....
david seems to enjoy them so much too. yes, they're a gift from the Lord.
big hugs to you.
Dolores, thank you so much for the prayers and good thoughts.
I need all the good stuff I can get !
I am ok , I just do it one day at a time.My MIL is not remembering much these days, she can't understand who her family is anymore.So sad to see her like that in a perpetual state of real confusion.
I still dont have help from her family and they are angry with me for wanting to place her, but that wont happen overnight or even in a year.And none of them offer to take her for an hour at least either !
I just wish I had a bit of me time, even a few hours now and again alone would be heaven.
And I miss my husband, evenings are the hardest.So strange to be so alone all the time.
God only gives you what you can handle... you and I are pretty strong gals,good thing were made out of tough stuff.
I only wish God would give me a break !

Hi Dolores -
Animals can reach out and get through sometimes when humans can't, for SURE. I'm glad David enjoys the kitties. Your Lily Bud DOES look like my Sam, who is still missing. I've about given up...
When my Nan, who had Alzheimers, was in the nursing home and confined to a wheelchair, there was a group of people in our town who took their small animals around to the different nursing homes. Once they brought a little mini-donkey, a goat, and some other critters. Nan got her picture in the paper petting the donkey.
But what amazed me, Dolores, was that a huge smile broke out over her face and she laughed and hugged that donkey and loved on it like a puppy. Her normally straight sad face lit up when she saw the animals! Such healing and uplifting power our pets have. I DO believe with all my heart that there'll be animals in heaven.
Ahhhhh...looks like Lily Bud likes the Water!!
And yes, I'm back...finally!Hahaa
But I needed to get up north to see the family...
