Look at me with two of my favorite people.
We go visit just when it’s snack time and they both are so kind to give me their cookies in spite of my mistress telling them not to.
She explains that it’s not good for me but they ignore her. Good for them!
Thank you for the cookies. I love you!
The equivalent to Alzheimer’s disease in dogs is called Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS). One thing I know for certain is that if ever I end up in a home because of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction I will always give part of my cookies to the dogs that visit me.
Physical and behavioural changes are similar in both Alzheimer’s and CDS. So similar, we can borrow from the extensive research that has been done in humans and lab animals to help understand what will delay the onset of senile dementia in pets. (5) Conversely, dogs are also increasingly being used as models to study the disease in humans. (11, 12, 13)

Oh, Bau, it looks like you are having a good time. It’s very nice that you’ve made some friends. Especially when they give you cookies … 😉 And I’m sure your friends are very happy to see you, too!

Thanks for the post and the share. I didn’t know dogs had something like it. Explains what happened to our old pek years ago.

Bau is such a sweetie! Unfortunately, I don’t have a dog (My doctor wrote me a prescription for a puppy, but Hubby didn’t buy it 😉) I have never heard of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome and certainly hope that someday more is known about preventing it. Hugs to Bau!

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome was also new to me until I started writing this post. Thanks for your sweet comment. 🙂

Thank you, Jill. I appreciate your kindness. While doing my research for this article I came across this video on prevention which might be of interest to you. I realize that it might not be adequate for your mother but one of the striking parts of the video was that Alzheimer’s disease is rarely inherited and that prevention has a lot to do with the food we eat.

Carol, it is so uplifting with people like you; giving their time and love to those who too
often get sidelined in society. I do love the ladies decision to treat you to biscuits.
A natural things for them to do, treat an honoured guest.,

Oh, Bau, you dear heart! Let’s hope you never develop CDS so you can always entertain the ladies and get paid in cookies. What a life 😉 [And Carol: how kind of you to take Bau for those visits. Looks like you all have a wonderful time!]
