My panther boy has made his preference known!

Ludie has happily retired to life at Grandpa's house permanently. While I was initially concerned with the impact Ludie would have on Dad for a long period of time had the potential to be negative... the opposite has proven true.

I must admit, it took some getting used to, but now it seems normal. I'm also happy to see how Ludie impacts Dad's daily life for the better. It is said pets are good comfort for people, and this certainly appears to be the case with Dad.

You'd think they'd been together for years. It is the best for Ludie too. Dad is always there, lives rather quietly and such. Whereas my life is always in some sort of flux... places to go, gone overnights and the occasional weekend.

This is a welcome choice and while his absence is felt by me from time to time, I know his presence felt by Dad daily is by far the better choice in the long run. Take good care of Grandpa Ludie!

Good to see Ludendorf is happy. He is like is name sake in many ways good intentioned by flawed in many ways. Your dad does look like he likes he though, and Ludie will set him on a schedule even if he doesn't want one.
