AM- awake at nearly 8am (PDT), Canoe tried to wake me up at 4:30, but I told him to go back to bed. It took 2+ hours for me to get back to sleep.

Then 4 hours later blew up again because her closet was empty. Husb says heโ€™s coming home today, tho. Canoe and I continue to practice indoor gate, leash, muzzle use for when she does comeโ€ฆ.
Outside is partly sunny, windy, 51 (F) degrees.

Sorry your sleep was restless. I have nights like this, as well. I try to go to bed at a decent hour, and either it takes forever to get to sleep, or I fall asleep quickly and then wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.

It looks like you had a productive day, regardless. Hope tonight is more restful for you.

Did it give you any insights on how we can prevent such a thing from ever happening again?
It did not do that, no. Just gave more insight into his Hitler-like craziness, and from whence it comes. The author is THE New York Times journalist that has been following him for a long time. How on earth she remains sane is a mystery to meโ€ฆ.

Husbโ€™s planned changed. Mom would neither allow him to pack stuff, nor consider coming home with him. Says she doesnโ€™t want to leave. So, he arrived home 5 hours later, without mom. Says heโ€™s not gonna make her move; he will get social worker involved to set up home care. He is done driving 5 hours one way. Winter is a problem for this trip to be more than monthly. My daughter will help, as she is only an hour from mom. Talk about amping up all my stress hormones and then suddenly dropping them. This is such a roller coaster ride. I just wonder how long he will maintain that resolveโ€ฆ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿค”

She needed help with the older one, who woke up paralyzed this morning. We loaded her into my friendโ€™s car, took her to the vet, where they diagnosed a tumor on her thoracic spine= no pain, no movement. Prob metastasis all over. Poor doggo cannot stand up, eat or drink, or even wag her own tail. Instead of extending a poor quality of life for not much benefit, my friend opted for euthanasia. So, that was my morning๐Ÿ˜ข
