The Paulding Humane Society

By Bill Craig
Although I cannot help in the physical way I once did (www.d2d4wetnoses.com), this is a cause which is still very near and dear to my heart, so please - if you can - click on that ad box and/or send a donation via www.pauldinghumane.org.

It would mean a lot to me, personally, and you may be helping some little puppy or kitty to live and be adopted.

Please remember: "Spay, Neuter and Adopt"!



My love to all of you!

Bill

Hey Bill -- I'm a lurker at the Dope and grabbed your link and read your ENTIRE blog today. I can't imagine what you are going through and selfishly hope I never have to. I watched someone -- much older than you, like, actually elderly ; - ) -- go through this and I often wondered what she thought.

Thanks for sharing, hang in there, and enjoy all the moments you can.

Oh, Gosh! The WHOLE damn THING?

Thank you, Sandy! Thank you VERY much!

At 2:07 am on April 11th, I'm sitting here just shaking my head because so many of you care about someone you've never even met.

I can only say "Thank You!"

You just made my day!

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo
