Aging in Place: For the dog’s sake, don’t scream, yell, and pound on the pillow
Claudette Hollenbeck
I once read somewhere that January is the armpit of the calendar year. That is certainly proving to be the case in 2025. Thank God it is over. I have been in a deep purple funk for weeks, unable to face the TV news or risk much outdoor activity on the icy surfaces.
I remember, back in the 1970s, if you found yourself angry and helpless the advice was to pound a pillow and scream as loud as you could. I tried it. Scared the poor dog half to death and I still felt terrible.
