Well, the “mood” is over. It was so out of character that it really hit me hard.

As we got through today, I could see he is slipping and maybe knows a bit and is frustrated. Everyday I see little slides – tonight he couldn’t find the coffee mugs. They have been same spot for nearly 18 years.

Also, he asked me to wash Buddy’s water dish and insisted on filling it with his water glass. Why?

Little huge things – but we’re happy today. Phoned Mark tonight and Dad asked where he was and if he could come home for Christmas. Of course, I had told him several times who all is coming.

As bedtime neared, he started wandering around “looking”. The action and body language reminded me of a person looking for a misplaced book or eyeglasses. Every time I’d ask what he was looking for – same reply – “Where’s Buddy’s litter box?”
