That is very sad.
As for carrying a cell phone all the time, I agree. It makes perfect sense.
But, getting most people in their 80's to do is so is practically impossible. I know this first hand, because I have an almost daily discussion of this with my parents, age 78 and 83. My dad has a cell phone, which is plugged into the charger in the spare bedroom 99% of the time. My mom acts like I suggested she carry a loaded rifle and a porcupine around in her pocket every time I mention the words "cell phone".
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
