I'm in for the game. What are we playing? I usually catch on to a new game pretty quickly.
And a glass of wine.
As for dogs for older people - definitely! As long as someone is able to look after it if the senior becomes too handicapped to take it for walks, clean up after it - or too forgetful to be relied upon for feeding and care. Then a caregiver is probably visiting each day and might add these chores to their job description (my sister worked for Blue Shield and one of her clients with MS had a cat; my sister fed it and cleaned the liter box each morning when she dropped in for two hours to help with morning routines of shower, getting dressed, breakfast for the client). Failing that perhaps a teenager could drop in after school and take the dog for a run. So, if a senior is an animal lover, please consider a dog.
That said, Seelerman and I have decided against getting another animal. We're presently enjoying our grandcat's extended visit.
Chemguy left earlier than their 'early dismissal' to come help me with the IV. Many people didn't even bothering going to work, so his boss didn't care even though he didn't say why. I enjoyed the party, but had a second attack later which we treated at home and then I fell asleep.
