Maybe I am being a little over sensitive...but I am a little bit offended by the "crate your grandfather" comments. If it were a young person I would be rolling on floor the floor with all of you but...

My mom has Alzheimers Disease. I had the same issue with her feeding Cyrus from the table when I was caring for her at home. I couldn't crate him because mom would throw a temper tantrum. I guess I was lucky because Cyrus would only beg from mom, never from me or anyone else.

Mom is in a memory care home now and the behavior no longer exists.

With the great wisdom that comes in hindsight I realize my mom was exhibiting behaviors of her disease YEARS before the disease became unmanagable.

My point is, poor grandpa's brain may not be picking up on the importance.

Let's have a little compassion.
