1. This situation reminds me of the last years of my father.

Bad judgment and bad decisions.

I tried to intervene, but you just couldn't stop him.

Shouldn't have been driving. Multiple fender benders. (He paid off the other drivers in cash so the DMV wouldn't know about the accidents.) Put food on the stove and left the kitchen to watch TV in another room. Refused to let me or a car service drive him into the City (20 miles each way) for cataract surgery. Was a retired physician and self-medicated. (Had 40 bottles of drugs when he died) Let the house go to seed (no repairs or maintenance). More, so much more.

2. Yikes! I am so sorry.

That must have been awfully rough on you. I also lost my Dad - way too soon. He had throat cancer, recovered, but then it came back. He nodded off one afternoon and just didn't wake up. His doctor told me it was a blessing and I was grateful for that, but it's still tough. I'm so sorry that you couldn't do more, but like you said, he knew his own mind.

3. One more thing:

He had to have a dog. My sister got him a Tibetan Terrier a few years old. Housebroken, quiet. He didn't like her because she was so docile.

He drove down to S. Carolina to a puppy mill and bought another Tibetan Terrier. This one was a terror more than a terrier. She tore up cushions on the couches. Dad couldn't take her for walks, so he had a neighbor do it in the mornings. But she wouldn't "go". And she would shit all over the place. He let her. She ruined two of my mother's cherished Persian rugs, valued over $40,000. The stains were permanent. I would try to pick up and remove the dried shit -- and Dad would yell at me to leave the logs where they were lying on the floor.

And while Dad was "happy," he ignored her for the most part.

THAT is dementia.

4. Yikes! I feel sorry for the poor dogs.

That's one thing about my Dad, he taught me to love animals. He got us a puppy, a cocker spaniel since that's what his family had when he was a kid. My uncle had collies and trained his own dogs, so he got my Dad a book on how to train your cocker spaniel. But my Dad was also a workaholic, he was the first person to get chemo as an outpatient at the hospital. But when it came to the puppy, I was the one who read that book and I ran out of things to teach her. And she did love my Dad. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. Same for the dogs.

5. Not to ignore the dogs, but

Has anyone thought this is is exactly what some of the insiders wanted? To quote Grover Norquist, they wanted a "form filler outer" who could just sign whatever they wanted?

Of course, as awful as Trump is, I do not look froward to the prospect of a president JD Vance: all of the anger and another pet psycho south African billionaire with Peter Thiel.
