Yeah thats almost exactly what i told my mom!
But she about flipped her lid when she saw a dog walk in the office... i told her it was prob a therapy dog for patients just not everyone is a dog person and with dogs going everywhere these days.. grocery stores -hardware stores and more. it was just a shock for her to see one walk in the doc office... i told her its prob not gonna change and just to let them know”politely” that you dont want them around you... 😬🙄be nice about it mom😊i said

@formydad, I am uncomfortable around them, too. Your mom is not alone.

@formydad My mother had Alzheimer's and dementia. When the visiting nurse would come to the house, she often came with her beautiful German Shepherd. My mother would interact with him, but not to people. The nurse said it was a good way to assess my mother, how she reacted. I bet therapy dog's could have the same affect!
