It's nice to be worried about.
As you know I had Bunker for most of the month of March - transported him to his second foster home (feeling he was well on his way to health) and took off for Oregon.
We were there for 3 days when we got the message the Big Guy's father had a stroke. We left immediately, trying to make plans to bring his parents to our area (which we have been trying to get them to do for YEARS). On arrival it was apparent it was 'his time'.
We arranged for hospice care ...........and he passed quickly (at 92). Arrangements were made for a funeral and burial.
As often happens in these situations, it soon became very apparent Vern's Mom was much farther into 'not remembering' than we knew. She has dementia and doesn't know who most of us are at any time.
We brought her to our city and made arrangements for her to live a block away in the 'memory care center' of this senior park. We tried as hard as we could to make her comfortable but after a few days had to go back to San Diego (their home) to sell their home and go through and pack-up 68 years of their married life together. That took us a little less than a week and we were able to sell their mobile home and dispose of or pack up their 'treasures'.
We are home now, working on getting Mom settled in more comfortably, making doctor's appointments for her and making sure she is being well taken care of.
Bunker was adopted (through internet networking) by a family in Oregon. He's fat and sassy, playing with the resident girlie, Sasha and sleeping in his new parent's bed (they said they had never let a dog sleep with them before - what is it about Boxers?)
I'll put some pictures of him in a reply.
