    How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Here’s an old favorite, well-worth repeating. How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb? Golden retriever: the sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid lightbulb? Border collie: just one, and then I’ll...

    A Place to Speak My Truths

    That is what this forum is to me. I am happy for any constructive, supportive things I can do for others but I honestly just love how I can say what I mean here about my own life. People ask me how Brian is, bless their hearts. I appreciate it, and I say he is okay/stable. I may change that to...

    What a Day

    My husband and I have many animals. Until today, we had three dogs and four cats. Now that is three cats. Today, we had to make that last vet visit with our Holly. She was likely at least 14 and probably older. I got her and brought her home three years ago when the 50 something woman who had...

    It's The Small Things...

    I did some small things today that made me feel better. I moved the weights and bench from the middle of the basement that I had to look at every time I fed the cats (he does not do that anymore). He had not used them since November and today I realized it was paining me to see those All The...

    Home healthcare

    Is there anyone from the Boston area who can recommend a home healthcare agency that can help my sister? She was diagnosed with bulbar ALS in December, and I am seeing her for the first time since then this week. I am utterly shocked at the change - she can barely walk and falls frequently...

    What did you do?

    Time to lighten it up a bit. This is an opportunity for PALS and CALS to boast a bit. Share your work, hobby, and or personal accomplishments and history. This is not about finding out what caused your flavor of ALS, it is just a "get to know you" and how you "tick" section. I sold and...

    This is making me feel crazy.

    I have been trying like mad to move my mom out to DC, but we can't put an offer on a house until she sells her house in New Mexico. Renting doesn't seem like a good option because she has so much stuff, two dogs and cats she won't give up, and throwing high rents to a landlord seems like such a...
