Is your Uncle still alive? I will have to study up about that Pics Disease....as I had never heard about it before...

Families who care for their own, with Alzheimers and other related dementias, often do so at great cost to their emotions, and their pocketbook...

It can be so very difficult and frustrating, to see a love one go this route...

Bless your Uncle, and his family who care for him...it was hard for him and hard for them, I am sure, and bless them all for that struggle...

For those who may be interested, here is a link to a website, written by the fellow who had the basset hound who did the ads for Hush Puppy shoes...

Palo, I sent you this link in an email, so you have it in your saved email for further study....

Here it is...enjoy...
