Camille, I would love to read Mimi-J's happy houaehold rules. We just moved from the suburbs to a one floor in the country. I was so careful to keep "Bruce the orange" in so he wouldn't feel lost. "Don't let the cat out." "please be careful and watch for the cat.", I yelled so convincingly. We've here several months and now I open the door wide and coax him to go out Do you think he'll go out?. He just wants the door open so he can look out. I can''t push him out, he just climbs over my foot. He's so safe, so are all the lttle critters. I am having trouble getting up from bed Any suggestons?. My caretaker (my dear husband), suggests any motto of the caretatkers should be, "What now?" in their more tired, frustrated time. Thanks. Patricia 62/5 years.
