Some of you have asked about Mimi's mother, who we call Grandma Rose. Grandma Rose was born in 1923, so she has seen more than almost any dog. She has not been well lately and it has become difficult for her to walk. She has become very tiny, less than 100 pounds. We are grateful, however, that she knows everything that is going on. Mimi wants to spend as much time with Grandma Rose as she can.
Until last July, Grandma Rose lived independently in her own home. Now she is in a place called "Assisted Living" where the peeps that run the place sometimes frown at dogs. But Mimi found out that it's OK to have a dog as a visitor, they just can't live there. And they aren't supposed to bark or annoy anybuddy.
It is hard fur me not to bark because I am good at home security.
Grandma Rose likes dogs. This might be because in the 1920's, her dad bred Boston Bull Terriers. She says that the puppies were the cutest.

Thank you everybuddy fur caring about Grandma Rose. Mimi is very worried about her. She is losing her physical health quickly and will probably have to move to a different place where she will get more care.
Right now, though, Grandma Rose is happy with where she is living.

Thank you for letting us meet your wonderful Grandma Rose. She is a wonderful woman. I am sure seeing you makes her day.
ReplyDeleteOh Louis ..... you are so lucky to have Grandma Rose to visit. I lost my Nan last year. She was born in 1918. It's her birthday today the 9th December. She would have been 98. Crikey I miss her.
ReplyDeleteDogs are the best medicine, and the folk in the assisted care facility will be delighted to see you Louis. Thanks for introducing us to Grandma Rose.

We know Grandma Rose loves dog visits! Must make her day.
ReplyDeleteGhostwriter works in a nursing home. She says everybody LOVES it when animals come to visit, especially dogs! There used to be a cat who lived at the nursing home. Sammy cat always knew who needed him the most. Unfortunately, he retired, and was not replaced. Make sure you go to visit your Grandma Rose as often as you can; and go around and say hi to all the other people there too.
ReplyDeleteDear Louis and Hazuzu and Mom...
ReplyDeleteGrandma Rose is a beautiful lady. We hope that she is adjusting to her assisted living.
My mom's mom aka Loula (what my human sis called her) lived in an assisted living facility not far from us. They had a resident cat, Remi, and a resident dog, Copper, who lived there. Hugs madi your bfff
We hope she does well with a little help in the new place and has more years of good health!

Grandma Rose is beautiful. I hope that she's doing well at assisted living and that she can continue there indefinitely.
