About that box with the chewed hole in it~

Do you see that power strip behind the box sitting on the books?   The box was sitting in place of those books and last week and I decided to pull the box out from underneath the power strip.   The box is full of wine corks and it is heavy and I did leave it alone for quite a few days before I decided to be brave and move it and chew a hole in it.  

Mom keeps telling me that this power strip is dangerous and to leave it alone, Molly!!!!   Because of my dementia, I'm awake all night looking for things to push and move and to challenge mom.    She decided to put the power strip on top of books this time to see if this might work.

Then she put these chimes in front of the power strip hoping that if I dare to touch this newest challenge, the chimes will ring and mom can address the situation  and come up with another idea.   

Update - the chimes were pushed so mom taped the chimes to the top book with packing tape.   We will see how that works!

Another update - the didn't work.   She will have to come up with Plan C.

This is my bed in the bedroom and if mom feels unsafe about me "touring" the living room while she is sleeping or trying to sleep - this happens~

Seeing as I don't like crates and never have, I am hooked to these three leashes that give me about 15 feet of room to move.   My bed is softer and cushier than a crate floor and I need that for my old bones with arthritis.   

I have only been hooked twice so far and I spend my time touring the bedroom trying to challenge mom further.   I don't sleep at night and I don't like mom sleeping at night either but sadly, she does like sleeping at night so until she comes up with a different idea - this is the way it works to keep me safe.   

My Anipryl prescription did arrive on Friday afternoon and I did take my first dosage on Saturday morning at 6am.     We had a sunny morning and I found a nice warm sun puddle and was enjoying myself.   Mom was busy cleaning and I decided to get up on all fours as she entered the living room.    I was unsteady, stumbling, disoriented, drooling and very loopy.   Mom immediately called my vet.    He was with a patient at the time and when he did call back, I was doing much better.   He wants us to give it a week so that my body can adjust to it.  

Update - Sunday morning, I had no reaction to the Anipryl!  YAY!  

We are so hoping the reaction only happened one time.  

The Anipryl isn't a miracle fix like the Librela was for me.   This med can take one to two months before we see a change.  

Happy Monday, everybuddy!

Love ya lots♥
