Actually a very nice sentiment. My dad suffered similarly in the final years of his life, except for the "wandering off" aspect. Great pic . . .

Yes it is funny they do not seem to recognize their own home, but I wonder if it is a kind of instinct they vaguely know something is wrong and are searching for a place to die quietly and peacefully as an animal will do. Of course we do not wish that to happen, we want to keep them forever.

the important thing is he is safe and when he goes into that memory fog that it's a good place not too far away and is safe

Nice to think of him sitting by the lake, enjoying the day
and feeling at home. Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay" was a favorite of my old friend Klaus, who taught English during his last year at Seattle Central. Whenever I hear that song I think of him, what a nice man he was, how his students revered him.
