Dear Mrs. Bear,

You are kind to come on here with the update to let us know that things are under control. I'm glad that he is sleeping.

I'm guessing that the men in your life are deeply devoted to you for your ability to keep them close when they need it.

That's great that the doggie helps. Is the dog sleeping with him? I can see that the dog would keep him calm.

On another forum a host talks about her psychiatric service dog. Apparently, she is schizoaffective I think. For example, the dog helps a lot with her hallucinations by not alerting to them. If the dog doesn't see anything, the owner, knows that the thing is not happening -- not sure if that makes sense. I could direct you to her if you want. She is very helpful and participates in NAMI and such. . . . Anyway, something to think about for the future perhaps.

Mari
