My 96 year old aunt passed away
Comments (17)My deepest sympathies, Eva. My great Aunt marion is still living. She was 97 in October. She lives by herself out in the country in a 3 story house.

I also tried the water pistol trick but he just looked very aggrieved as though WE were being quite unreasonable ! It didn't actually stop him. He isn't really afraid of water any way; we have a job getting him to keep out of the shower as it is ! I am wondering if the only solution is to get a tougher and closer weave carpet? It seems a costly way of beating the problem but . . . ....See MoreAunt Mildred
