Some rescue shelters appreciate seniors volunteering to play with and walk animals awaiting adoption. Fostering cats and dogs is another short term way to help pets while getting exercise and healthy endorphins. My 8 year old hound mix rescue has greatly upped my daily mileage and oxytocin level. He’s friendly and could be easily rehomed, but I sure hope no need for that!
My sister moved into a senior community and almost immediately had to call the fire department on the not so bright resident who was torching his yard weeds but lit up a whole lot more. He was lucky it was quickly contained.
The mice who have not been seduced to trust the orange cat will be literally climbing the walls and running for their lives. The quandary for our civil servants?
I remember when I wouldn’t let one of my kids cut school to go watch the Ravens’ parade. That would have made a better memory than whatever was discussed in class!
But that line of thought ignores the basic science observation that the tendency in nature is toward chaos and destruction. Learned that from a PBS kids show. :)
