Did she actually say that?

My wife absolutely knows that we have two dogs (or one dog and one cat). Of course we don't. Since she always wants to see the "other dog", I just tell her we only have one. Yesterday we were by the patio doors that lead to the back yard. Our dog, Gracie, was in the yard. My wife saw her and asked where the other dog was. I told her we only have one. She asked "Are you sure?". I said yes because if another dog comes in the house, Gracie will fight with it. My wife said "Well that bitch!"

Sharing the humorous times helps us all deal with this nightmare. My wife and I once had the following conversation

Her: I can't find your husband.

Me: My husband?

Her: Yes, your husband.

Me: I'm not gay.

Her: You're not?

I still laugh about that.

Thanks for the humor everyone! It has been a roller-coaster of emotions daily for me recently. Too much to post. But I'm glad for this thread. 

One day last week, started out yet again with a doozie of a gut punch. My LO was belligerent, seeing people (not), refusing to bathe (week 4 and counting) =| and I was feeling really hopeless. But then later, I was driving us around for fun, and lately DH has started reading everything he sees, out  loud. Neon signs, posters, street names, billboards, everything.

As we pulled up to a stoplight, he noticed a sign stuck in the grass: "Garage Sale", he mumbles... then exclaims "Da*n, they're selling garages now?!"  After such a despairing day that cracked me up and I silently smiled all the way home.

DW "I want to go the the bathroom"

I take her to the bathroom

DW looks around and walks out.

Me "Don't  you need to use the bathroom?"

DW  "No I just wanted to make sure it was still there"

My DH ( moderate dementia ) does not talk very much. He was objecting to taking a shower and in a moment of exasperation, I mentioned we may have to call in healthcare. I asked,"Do you want some strange lady washing your privates?" You should have seen the smile on his face! I definitely will have to use a different approach. LOL
