Really keeping this on topic... I forgot to mention: Rufus did fine with the guitar playing and singing this morning! He was eating when I first got the guitar out - he looked my way... "This is a nice place - they have entertainment with their meal service."
He sat and watched for a while, then went back in the bedroom to have a little rest after his mid-morning snack. He kept his eyes on me the whole time, though. If I had to guess, I would say he likes James Taylor more than The Beatles.
He seems to like his new walking harness...
