What a great thing to do Sally! And I'm sure that he appreciates it in so many ways! How often do you do this?

Katie, i would be soooo bloody frustrated with dial-a-bus that I don't think that I could talk to them and maintain composure or decency! It's nice though that your family there does take him to appointments and such. I'm sure that you've tried this, but most towns have some sort of senior services program. My grandmother lived with us for many years growing up and for many years she wouldn't let us call them (we think because she didn't want to admit to needing such type of programs). Finally a friend invited her to go along on one of their weekly outings to eugene to do something and she loved it! She went at least once a week to where ever they were going, all they ask is a donation. Surely Corvallis has something sort of similar that your dad could partake in.

My cat's don't like drawers, but the love cupboards. However, it's not a trick really. They will paw at a cupboard until someone opens it. They then crawl in to some shelf and stay their for 5 min. to many hours. But, I guess the interesting part is that if the cupboard is even slightly adjar, then they can open it on their own, crawl in, and freak me out when I haven't seen one of them for too long.

Just a pic that I took today. Lucky, or crazy, enough to be at the right place as sun was setting.
