My day has been good.
So moisturising the Papa Bear has been completed. I told him he looks all beautiful, and he laughed and said "I will put my lipstick on later on in the day." We laughed. He has a great sense of humour.
I insisted he put the fan on. He wants to save money. If he is dead, that is not much of a saving. Anyway I just kept turning the fan on yesterday and he accepted it by the end of the day. I put it on this morning and he looked happy. I had it too close and straight on him at first, yesterday morning. As the day went on I made adjustments and let the fan oscillate and be further away. It all takes fine incremental movements to work these things out.
I am starting early on the hydration today. I will give him grapes, water, treats, three sips for a chockie biscuit, I gave him two bowls of ice cream yesterday - because getting anything into him was much better than getting nothing into him, getting him to suck on ice etc.
So I feel accomplished.
