Today I walked around the various floors, they even have a lock down Alzheimer's floor which they want me to visit. My husband is nervous that Lola will get hurt, but I don't plan to leave her on any ones lap unless I am holding her and very close by. I am hoping Lola's keen senses sort of lead her to behave the right way. |
Lola will do fine & the residents will love her. I do have to watch Huey with my grandmother because she tried to shift him around the other day, and as she has no lap
, he started to slide off. I saw her grab one of his legs and my heart dropped, but she got a hand around his body before what I was seeing actually registered in my brain so I move in that direction. Whew...
I do think many dogs are attuned to special needs and pick up on what behavior to exhibit in certain circumstances, even if they act like little heathens the rest of the time.
