On Friday we were out with a friend and when we've seen this friend before we've noticed that Alan heads straight for a little toy fluffy dog and cuddles it. Anyway on Friday this friend, R, asked if it was o.k. to give it to Alan and I said yes of course.
Anyway since then Alan is either walking round with the dog talking to it gently or he is sitting with the dog in his lap and stroking and talking gently to it. It is wonderful to see and also very sad - mostly wonderful
I said to Alan "it's like it's real isn't it" and he has managed to convey to me since Friday that he knows it's not alive but sometimes he doesn't know it's not alive - he thinks it is. Alan has always had dogs and our last one died just before Christmas last year. At least this one wont drum up vets bills
Love
