Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

I'm like your mom, Jamie, but only with stairs. I
count the stairs gong down to the basement where the
washer and dryer are in case I evere go blind. I
didn't consider the rest of the house, but I guess I
subconsciously figure that I know the layout well
enough to manage. I know there are places one can go
to learn one's way around the house and ow to cook and
stuff because once a man came to Minneapolis from
Oregon and stayed with us for a day before going to
such a training place--but that was over 50 years ago.
Is such training for living still available?
