I don't have as many dog stories but I do tons of cat stories. I've been blessed with some interesting cats who do make sure I know when they need or want something. Yeats was notorious for when I was on the computer, and he wanted attention he would lay right across the keyboard. I could move him but he would come right back. Once I snuggled with him then he would lie down beside me. Macavity when he wants to eat, taps your leg repeatedly. And when I ask what do you want he goes to his food dish. If I don't get up immediately, he will come back and tap my leg repeatedly.
I agree animals are far more intelligent than we realize.
I tend to overthink and second-guess. I try to let go. Moving on from past mistakes (whether or not they were truly mistakes) is key for me to meet new challenges and make new mistakes. *sigh*
I've lived with people who had needs. Sometimes it worked out; sometimes life intervened.
My favorite OT book is Ruth. I truly believe that kindness matters.
You are desperate to use the bathroom. But, you share this with several others. It's down the hall (waaaay down the hall), and it's cold despite the heat being set to the 'normal' temperature. Being an older person, your legs and ability to hold it ain't what it used to be. How do you handle this dire situation?
Śounds like it is time to invest in some adult disposable underwear and wipes perhaps. If you have your disposable underwear on then you make it the best you can. If you have an accident, you are covered until you can get into the bathroom to clean up and change.
Either that, in vest in a bedside potty or bucket. You had better have something in case of emergency at your disposal. I don't recommend the disposable bed pads. They barely hold my little dog’s pee for the record and that could get messy.
Life! You’d better be ready to improvise at any given moment. 🤪
