Another Fortyshooter update on life around the home...

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

Another Fortyshooter update on life around the home...

Post by fortyshooter » Sun Apr 19, 2026 8:03 pm

Well my wife is doing as well as she can at the Memory Care facility and last week my sister and her daughter came up from Georgia to visit us. We all had a great time and went to enjoy a great lunch with my wife. Now the sad part....Looks like my dog Buster at 12 years is developing dementia or something else related and a vet visit is planned. He spends most the day running all around the house....getting into corners and confused,,,standing and just staring at nothing....now just taking a poop whenever in the house which is highly unusual since he has always had great house habits and now growls at me if I try to pick him up or sometimes put his leash on. Also a weakness in his right front paw and hindlegs but he will run like crazy around the yard. This started around the time my wife went into Memory Care. I will have to somehow get him to the vet to get a full checkup. So sad to see this and I cannot have a dog around that will try to bite his masters hand. Seems like the worst of life keeps coming my way!

UPDATE.... Put dog in the kitchen with doors shut and a night light with his bedding. Heard some whining few hours later and he has gotten in behind the fridge and the wall! As I pull the fridge out he is all teeth and growling the more the fridge moves full on attack mode here! Damn thing has lost his mind. Go in garage to get some boards to block off the fridge/wall gap and when I try to come in door he is against it and goes off again! Got him in as safe as possible in kitchen now I hope with every possible area blocked off and sadly will call Animal Control in morning and have him picked up. I can't do nothing with him as he is really aggressive to any help. I think I am in the damn Twilight Zone! :(
