A recent Reader's Digest article reminded me about how elders respond to animals visiting or living in commercial care centers.  Although the RD article was about a very caring cat that could apparently sense when someone was about to die in a nursing home, I wanted to approach this topic in a much different direction.  I wanted to point... Read moreChevron
