Thanks, DG, but I have 3 dogs and they're just not what I had in mind...

...know what I mean?

Thank you, E, for your kind words. I'm catching up with your situation, also. Sometimes I feel like I could give myself a full-time job just reading other stories and posting on this site.

Unfortunately SS21's autism brings a whole new set of issues to the table. Generally, autistic persons do not adapt easily to change, and he is especially unsettled by any change in his routine. And this is a big one for him.

Hope you both are doing well tonight.
