That is, if you want things to stay happy. And they are. Mom is slipping mentally, and it is worrying us. Forgot the dog was outside a couple times lately. She is not allowed to let him out any more. It will only get worse from here. I don't expect any help from her siblings when the trouble really hits. We'll see.
