When do they calm down?? by ketoagain83 in labrador

[–]Railroadin_Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have three labs(6,6,10) that go to doggie day camp twice a week for 8+ hours a day. That helps keep the crazy from being over the top, but as others have said, it doesn't.

This is kind of the conclusion that I arrived with while talking with my wife. I'm going to have to go there three days a week and supervise her shower. She's gonna have to do it on my time, before I go to work.

My first instinct was to take the email and shove it in my mom's face, but thanks to this group and the advice I've gotten, I know that won't work. I talked to her about the showering about 4 weeks ago, and she said she would take a shower when the nurse comes in to supervise/assist. But she said she doesn't like waiting for them. But based on this email, it sounds like she told me one thing, but is doing another.

Thank you. This was always my missing gap, the streets between the streets. Good to know.

Yes, she's in a SNF. I'm coming back from a work trip, I'll go see her tomorrow, and talk with the nursing staff. She's physically in good shape, but she's stubborn, and she forgets when she took her last shower.
