Hi
@DB
Does she do anything extra on Thursday? OH and I will be going to his monthly Sunday Roast club tomorrow and I know that on Monday he is going to be tired and awful. I will willing pay the price though so I dont have to cook and get some social time.
I think possibly you are sending out little signals that it is Friday and with the weekend coming up, she knows something is happening but can’t understand what.
I had a little dog that could read my behaviour like a book. If I was going out for groceries, it was different to when I was going out for dinner. And her behaviour changed accordingly as she was never bothered if she knew I was only going to be gone for a short time but if she knew I was going out for some hours, she would get her favourite toy, snuggle up in her basket and wait for her doggy chew. She was perfectly able to read the signs correctly.
It maybe that she is reading signals from you, just little things that happen on a Friday that don’t happen other days. We know that changes in routine can be very unsettling for a person with dementia and she just may no be able to interpret correctly what is happening.
