I was thinking Barry. You mentioned a few days ago that your Dad was going to a support group meeting. Can you find a support group for family members to go to? It seems that might help you if you can talk to other people who have family members that are going through this too. I really hope you can go and get some comfort and relieve some stress.
More great pictures!! Please feel free to PM me anytime to talk. :)
Don't worry Barry. Please come to PT to relieve some of your frustrations. You can talk to us anytime. It's a hard situation for you and your parents and I'm sure Fritz can feel the stress at times. Take care of yourself.

Its a very hard time for you all and you always take things out on the ones you love the most - is there any way that you can get a carer in even for one day a week so you can have a break?
As the others have said, we are all here to help you if we can

Oh Fritz, I'm having a really bad day at work and it's so nice to see you and you're cute little fuzz ball face today. You've given me a much needed smile.
Is that you with the tv remote Fritz? You have complete control over there don't you cutie? Kisses all the way from Florida for you buddy!! :)
I'm really hoping those pills will help your Dad, Barry.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...tz26/napsy.jpg Fritz having a little napsy in front of the couch.He is behaving tonight,though he did start barking when Larry phoned for nightly check-in.Dad was pretty good,nothing major,just when i didn't punch the holes right in a picture i printed off and i didn't move fast enough to help him off the couch today.Fritz is now under the small couch where he will stay until he is ready to go upstairs.Auntie Bev phoned and Irene starts chemotherapy next week.She will sick for the first couple of days,not eating much then will eat like a horse will lose what little hair she has and can't travel. :cool:
It's a hard job taking care of Papa isn't it Fritz? A guy just has to take a nappie sometimes huh? :)
Barry, your Dad looks like he might feel a little better in that pic. I hope so. I sure hope Auntie Irene does well with the chemo. My thoughts and prayers are with everybody.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...nightfritz.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...perchwatch.jpg Fritz last night before heading up to bed and Fritz on watch in the front window.He was good last night,was with mom,then on the chair and under the couch.He was halfway out when I headed up and while I was in the bathroom,I heard him run up the stairs to bed.He is snoozing with dad on the couch,had his cereal and porridge plus a little toast from mom.Dad sounded pretty good this morning,maybe the pills are helping. :)

Dad was down here today,fiddling around near the the light that wasn't working the other day,got it working then,don't why he was doing.he was on his feet too much and can hardly move them.he was in a down mood again tonight,can't do what her wants.Also today,he come down to get blankets my sister had problems with the washer hose come off and floor got wet, borrowed our wet vaccuum,blankets i guess are to keep the floor clean when the washer is fixed. :D
Hello Fritz, I just love the last picture of you snoozing upside down. :D
You're so cute Fritz!! We would love to pet that fluffy coat and we think those little leggies are so cute. :) That picture of you upside down is worth framing!!
Maybe your Dad was feeling better Barry and he did too much. I hope he can take it easy and let the new pills do their thing.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../beggarboy.jpg This is Fritz last night begging to go out.he had been out twice,didn't need out andif it was just to go upstairs,he would just start barking,so he ended up having a run around the rec room that tired him out,under the couch he went.he did go up on his own,then i heard a little bark,he was at the top of the stairs,he needed out,so i let him out,he did what he had to do ad he came in and went to bed.I think he is still there now.We might get 4 inches of snow late today into tomorrow so have to wait on that. :cool:
Fritzie!! We could scoop you up and give you a ton of kisses!! You're adorable standing in your new picture. Stay warm up there you guys!! Sounds like fun :)
