Part 1 of 2
Maribeth's father passes away on May 20
Paul DeMars died exactly a week and12 hours ago. He was my ex-wife's father. I was surprised to learn that part of the reason he died was from dehydration (according to the Death Certificate). However, we knew about the other problems. He had renal failure and was finished when his heart gave out. He did not even live 1 day at the nursing home he was at. Maribeth said that he acted like he didn't want to be there. I don't think there was any malpractice with respect to his dehydration. It was a matter that the kidneys worked so bad that they didn't allow the rest of the body to get liquid. That's my theory. I'm no doctor, so I am not sure.
Before, I laughed myself silly when the 2 dogs above got together. No, I'm kidding. Yet, Maribeth owner of Minnie, black gentle pit bull, and Faith, my Late Father-in-Law's dog (black & white Border Collie/Sheepdog mix) didn't get along very well. It was a pattern. Minnie, age 1, would bounce around Faith (age 8) and the older dog would feel her space was violated and bark at Minnie. Minnie is about the opposite of the stereotype of a nasty fighting pit bull. My dear friend, Patricia, has a dachsund, (this breed is illustrated below). Minnie, backs down to a damn dachsund!
It was like I told my son, Andy, "I have good news and bad news for you, son. The good news is we don't have to worry about Minnie tearing up anything but my old cowboy boots. She gets along great with other dogs. The bad news is that if another person or animal attacked you; Minnie would sit and watch or get herself killed trying to save you ".

Again my condolences for the loss of your FIL. I sure hope there was no malpractice, either.
Never had dogs, but it's interesting to read about animals and their personalities he he he he...
thanks Amel. I think MB and my kids are recovering pretty well from the death. I wonder what we'll do with the house (??)
