The pets of childhood stay in all of our memories.
Comment: Mark - it would seem your parents would enjoy the TwiddleCats that are made specifically for the frail elderly (with dementia, Alzheimer's etc.). Not only do these soft, cozy, 'pets' act as reminders of earlier times but they keep cold hands warm and busy. They are designed in a muff like fashion with a soft squeezie ball inside and gadgets on the outside to keep hands warm and busy. www.twiddlemuff.com
Comment: A good story about life.
I enjoyed reading this article. It's not just about the effects of pets to our lives but also the effects of seeing our elders go through their senior life. I can relate to some of what's written here because my mother has also been diagnosed of dimentia a few years ago. And though, there are certain things in the present that she might not recall or stuff that even transpired last week, she would remember lyrics of songs from way back when. She would tell stories about my father and her own family members. It is truly sad to see your own parents slowly deteriorating not only physically but also mentally. Yet, you know their spirit is still much alive.
It was a good article.
Comment: A really Touching post.
How about the guilt for wanting to spend a lot (money and passion) on a 'mere' animal while being blind to the suffering of humans elsewhere.
