Ran down to the pantry for some stuff, arrived back up at the kitchen to see him lacing his runners up.
“Uh, what’s happening, Hon?”
“I’m going for a walk.”
Eight years ago, this would have been delightful, today, down right scary. I have only myself to blame as I requested “the only duty of the aides” – take my man for a walk in the neighborhood.
Tonight I went with him, grateful to have caught him before he got out on me. It was 6:40pm and I knew we could make it back before dark – but a terrible fear grips me – if I lose him at night, in a shirt, in the orchards – - -
So, tomorrow off to the security shop to try to find something to hide in his jeans.
Maybe this is why my stomach is aching tonight.

You must have been terrified.
Have you looked into a security alarm for the doors?
Bear hugs to both of you.
Bear((( )))
Oh, gosh. That is so very, very frightening. I like the idea of a security system for you. Ours has a setting even when it is unarmed to make doors and windows beep if they are opened. Peace of mind is worth a lot. Love, Annette
I haven’t noticed in previous posts if you have registered him with the police department. Our local police issue IDs for people at risk. At the hospital we put a small bracelet on people who are prone to wander. This triggers an alarm when they go out the door. I am sure the device could be attached to something other than a bracelet. Hope you find a solution that gives you peace of mind quickly.
Pretty scary, Bear.
Annette,that’s the next step – I’m looking today.
Ruth, he is registered with our RCMP, picture, etc.The cost included a bracelet he won’t wear, although it’s in his jacket pocket. When he finds it, he hands it back to me:)
